M/M Owner

Based on IRC Sec 72 Joint Life Expectancy Table
M/M Owner will receive Payments for 29 years
Vincent J Gallo &
Associates,Inc.
21. CRT Payments
QSO must pay annually to the CRT the interest on
the demand note. Interest is paid to the CRT. The
CRT, based upon its terms, must pay 7.0% of the
FMV of the trust at least annually to M/M Owner
for their lifetime. The undistributed income each
year (difference between interest income and
payout) results in annually increasing payments
from the trust *. Based upon IRS Mortality Table
estimates, M/M Owner will receive approximately
$4.8 million in income during their lifetime. At the
latter death of M/M Owner no further income will
be paid from the CRT. At that time the principal
amount of the note ($2 million) will be due from
QSO payable to the CRT.
*Alternatively the demand note interest and the CRT payout rate
can be matched

Ins.
• Equal to Liability for Note Buyout

Vincent J Gallo &

23. Demand Note Called
At the latter death of M/M Owner the CRT
terminates, per IRC Sec 664. The trustees of the
terminating trust call the principal amount of the
demand note. QSO, lacking the capital ($2 million)
borrows the money from Son/Dau. Son/Dau have
$2 million of insurance proceeds available and, in
turn, lends $2 million to QSO for a demand note of
$2 million with a suitable interest rate. QSO
redeems the note to the CRT with the proceeds
from the loan form Son/Dau.
CRT terminates and pays remainder to QSO.
$2 million from CRT is transferred to Qualified
Support Organization(QSO). Son/Dau are
appointing trustees of QSO.
Son/Dau begin to receive annual payments from
QSO for interest on demand note. Note is insured
w/ issue as beneficiaries and guarantors of note
