LB REVOCABLE TRUST
LB HERITAGE AND LEGACY TRUST
Open Items
I.
LB Revocable Trust Agreement (the "Revocable Trust")
A.
Artwork and Book Collection. The Revocable Trust currently provides
that artwork and collectible books includible in Leon's estate will pass to a Marital Trust,
for Debra. Upon Debra's death, such items will pass to the Foundation, subject to a
power of the Trustees to "appropriate" and distribute selected works of art and books, to a
child's Legacy Trust under the LB Heritage and Legacy Trust Agreement. Will Leon
identify certain
certain works of art and collectible books to pass, in trust, to his children?
B.
Residences. Most all of the residential property is owned by Leon and
Debra jointly and 190 Narrows Road, Bedford is owned by Debra. If Debra survives
Leon, under the Revocable Trust only 750 Meadow Lane, Southampton will pass to the
Marital Trust and eventually to the Heritage Trust. Does Leon wish to leave Debra 750
Meadow Lane outright, rather than have a single lot held in the Marital Trust?
C.
Residue. If the power to direct art is exercised (as described in paragraph
A), so art is subject to estate tax, the residue will be reduced significantly by estate tax.
To the extent art instead passes to the Foundation, the residue will be larger. Assuming
we expect a substantial residuary estate, does Leon wish to employ the zeroed-out CLAT
strategy?
II.
LB Heritage and Legacy Trust Agreement
A.
Entrepreneurial Ventures. The LB Heritage and Legacy Trust Agreement
currently provides that the Trustees have discretion to invest principal of the Heritage
Trust in one or more entrepreneurial ventures of Leon's descendants. However, the
Trustees may not invest more than 10% of the Heritage Trust principal in any such
ventures if the entrepreneur is a child and not more than 5% if the entrepreneur is a
grandchild. The Trustees also may not invest in more than 3 ventures per descendant
over such descendant's lifetime. Profits of such entrepreneurial ventures are paid 50% to
the Heritage Trust, 25.5% to the Legacy Trust of the entrepreneur and 24.5% is divided
among the other Legacy Trusts equally by family lines of your children. Explore whether
Leon wants to (1) change the percentage of Heritage Trust principal that may be invested
in entrepreneurial ventures to not more than 5% for a child's venture and not more than
2.5% for a more remote descendant's venture; (ii) permit the Trustees to invest in an
unlimited number of ventures per descendant (removing the 3 ventures per descendant
limit) and (iii) reconsider the ratio for sharing profits from entrepreneurial ventures?
