There is no prohibition, but specific IRS rules and case law to acknowledge and comply with. Not something to be done without trust lawyers involved. I have not calculated what the taxes would be if done wrong - not an acceptable outcome for anyone.

I'll try to get that for you tomorrow. •> I'm afraid I disagree (as does Harry's attorney) as to the existence of legal issues relating to liquidation of the trusts. As you know, the trusts avoided federal and Massachusetts estate tax at Carol's death by virtue of qualifying for the marital deduction. Unless the termination is handled properly the deferred tax could be triggered on the entire remaining balance. It's not an insurmountable problem, but it needs to be done right and Noam's attorneys and Harry's attorney and I need to be on the same page about whatever settlement is worked out (and how it's documented) or we could all be in big trouble over taxes. > I really do hope that Noam can be prevailed upon to let his attorneys speak with Harry's. I'm in the middle here and whether or not I'm sued by anyone there won't be a settlement until the real "parties in interest" start communicating. > A.
