2. Make income tax free gifts
• Assume same facts as above but add that all income is
annually taxable to the grantor.
• The after tax advantage to having the grantor pay the
tax at the end of 10 years is $2M.
• Combining the results achieved with loans in items 1
and 2 above, your client has the ability to shift $7.9M
to his kids without gift tax or to grandkids without GST
tax over a 10 year period.
10. www.InKnowVision.com All Content Copyright © 2014
Example
• Using the facts as described above, assume that
Dad makes a loan to a defective trust for $10M at
current AFR of 1.22% at a time when market
interest rates for a similar loan would be 6.00%.
11. www.InKnowVision.com All Content Copyright © 2014
Present Value
• The present value of a 25 year $10M loan at its stated
rate of interest is $10M. However, the present value of
a 25 year $10M loan with stated interest of 1.22% is
much less if the discount rate used to calculate present
value is a FMV rate of 6.00%.
• In fact, the PV of this loan would be $6.48M. A 35%
adjustment from face. The adjustment could also be
affected by other issues, such as the borrower’s ability
to repay the loan, whether or not the loan was secured,
the size of the loan, etc.
12. www.InKnowVision.com All Content Copyright © 2014
How to Get There
• Reg § 20.2031-4. Valuation of notes.
• The fair market value of notes, secured or
unsecured, is presumed to be the amount of
unpaid principal, plus interest accrued to the date
of death, unless the executor establishes that the
value is lower or that the notes are worthless.
13. www.InKnowVision.com All Content Copyright © 2014
How to Get There
• Evidence must be submitted that the note is worth
less than the unpaid amount because of:
interest rate
date of maturity, or
other cause, or
the note is uncollectible, either in whole or in part (by
reason of the insolvency of the party or parties liable,
or for other cause), and that any property pledged or
mortgaged as security is insufficient to satisfy the
obligation.
15. www.InKnowVision.com All Content Copyright © 2014
Key Elements
• Cases where the burden has been established fall
into 3 basic categories:
1. Market rate of interest for similar notes is
substantially higher than the stated rate of interest at
the time of decedent’s death.
2. Maturity date of note is far into the future making the
note more susceptible to potential long terms negative
impact of fluctuating interest rates and borrower
creditworthiness.
3. The borrower did not have a strong ability to repay the
note.

The 3G Concept
• Assumed facts: Grandfather, age 70 (G1) looking to
pass wealth to child, age 45(G2) and grandkids (G3)
Create a GDOT with G3 as beneficiaries.
GDOT purchases insurance on life or lives of G2 (or G3)
G1 (Lender) loans money to GDOT (Borrower) for premium
payments
Loan calls for repayment of principal and accrued interest at
the then current AFR at the death of G2(of G3).
G1 continues to make premium payments of 500k per year
for 5 years
At the end of year 6, G1 dies
What is the value of the loan in G1’s estate?
20. www.InKnowVision.com All Content Copyright © 2014
The 3G Concept
• There are five loans, totaling $2.5M.
• Each loan has a term equal to G2’s life expectancy-
approx. 28 years.
• Assume that all loans carry 3% interest rate
• Also assume that we can sustain the burden of
proving that the value of the loan is lower than
that determined under Reg § 20.2031-4.

Split Dollar
• Think old style collateral assignment
• Trust is policy owner
• G2 or G3 is insured
• G1 is premium payor
• The policy is collateral
• AFR rate for interest is charged on the loan

Owns Policy
• Payment of premium constitutes a loan
• Policy is assigned as collateral
What is the Value of the Loan Obligation at death or gift?
23. www.InKnowVision.com All Content Copyright © 2014
The 3G Concept
• Present value calculation, using a market interest
rate assumption of 6.0%, the present value of the
loan is $1.4M.
• A 60% valuation adjustment.
• Split dollar governed by Reg § 1.7872-15. Split-
dollar loans.

Key Advantages
• Transfer of wealth to G2 and G3 without gift or
GST tax
• Valuation discounts
• Tax free cash buildup in policy
• Life insurance death benefit
