What is a irrevocable trust MIDGET?
A MIDGET trust is a Medicaid Intentionally Defective Grantor Trust. Done "right", an irrevoccable trust will either pay taxes as its own independently existing entity, or the income taxes will be due and paid by the beneficiaries. A Grantor Trust is one which is created to provide benefits to someone else (the beneficiary), but the income from the trust is taxed to the person establishing the trust (the grantor). For a long time, that was a bad thing, because people put assets into a trust to benefit others often, and getting stuck with the tax bill wasn't a good thing. More recently, estate planning attorneys such as those at the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys realized that an Intentionally Defective Grantor Trust (i.e. a trust which is intentionally deemed a Grantor Trust by the IRS) could serve estate planning goals. Such an IDGET (or IDGT) lets the Grantor preserve the assets they put into trust for someone by having the Grantor pay the taxes instead of their beneficiary or the trust for their beneficiary. This also serves to decrease the size of the Grantor's remaining estate which can be subject to onerous Federal Estate Tax and other death taxes later. Finally, the Medicaid portion of this term (In California, the 'M' is for Medi-Cal) refers to the use of this trust vehicle to encompass assets the Grantor places into the trust to protect them from a claim by the state Medicaid authorities for reimbursement for Medicaid (often Nursing Home/Long Term Care) benefits, or to increase the Grantor's eligibility for such benefits.
