dynasty trust

Read a random definition: noncustodial

A quick definition of dynasty trust:

A dynasty trust is a special type of trust that lasts for many years and can benefit multiple generations of a family. The main goal of this trust is to avoid taxes and provide a source of income that can last beyond just one generation. The person who creates the trust can contribute money without having to pay taxes, and the beneficiaries of the trust won't have to pay taxes either. The trust is set up in a way that the person who created it can't control it, and they have the freedom to decide how the beneficiaries can receive income from the trust. Some states have rules that limit how long the trust can last.

A more thorough explanation:

Dynasty trusts are trusts that are created to last for many years and multiple generations. The main goal of these trusts is to avoid taxes as much as possible and create a source of income that will last beyond just one generation. The person who creates the trust (the grantor) can contribute an amount up to the current gift tax limit without having to pay any taxes. After that, the only taxes on the assets of the trust may be income taxes, which can be avoided through certain investments. Most importantly, the beneficiaries of the trust will not have to pay any taxes.

The trust must be set up as an irrevocable trust, which means that the grantor or beneficiary cannot control it. The grantor has a lot of freedom to decide how the beneficiaries may receive income from the trust, with only some states limiting the length of the trusts by the rule against perpetuities.

Example 1: John sets up a dynasty trust for his children and grandchildren. He contributes $11 million to the trust, which is the current gift tax limit. The trust is set up to last for 100 years and the beneficiaries can receive income from the trust during their lifetimes. John's goal is to avoid estate taxes and provide a source of income for his family for many generations.

Example 2: Sarah sets up a dynasty trust for her grandchildren. She contributes $5 million to the trust and sets it up to last for 50 years. The beneficiaries can receive income from the trust during their lifetimes, but the trust cannot be used to pay for their education or healthcare expenses. Sarah's goal is to provide a source of income for her grandchildren that will last beyond her lifetime.

These examples illustrate how dynasty trusts can be used to provide a source of income for future generations while avoiding taxes. The grantor has a lot of control over how the trust is set up and how the beneficiaries can receive income from it. By setting up the trust as an irrevocable trust, the grantor can ensure that the assets in the trust are protected from creditors and other legal issues.

@m10: most of PSYOP are guys who failed SFAS and Ranger so much so they can't go back and think being SOCOM makes them SF. I loved the cultural side of it all, going to embassies and running influence operations. Doing KLEs and training with foreign militaries was amazing. Learned so much about the world by talking to those who live all over it. Then got lucky and worked with a Marine HIT overseas and would tag along when they kidnapped people to do some stuff lol The rest of the time was a lot of reports and KLEs

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Did not know that but it makes sense. That sounds like a cool career. I would have liked to have done that too. I really would have just liked to have gone OCONUS once.

I was talking to this 88H in a bar last weekend and he had some wild story about being interrogated by the FBI and CIA and shit to get a top-secret clearance or something so he could drive a forklift around Europe, Korea, and Africa. It sounded like a bunch of bullshit to me but do you know if something like that could be true?

@shaquilleoatmeal: yeah so I’ve heard
i don't know any of this military talk but i was going to be a combat medic or trauma surgeon for so long before i went this track lol, so my only exposure is seriously looking and visiting places like west point for recruitment lol. i speak russian so everyone always told me that raises your chances at those places lol
my brother is a combat medic too

@m10: was a great career, the main job is being a cultural expert building rapport and relationships with foreign nationals, militaries and even people hostile to make the area safer and at times bring in the ODAs or three letter guys to train, arm and fund them to aid in their(our) cause. OCONUS is great but not necessary, I only did two real deployments but a lot of missions to places. That is all 110% BS. I have a TS-SCI, worked with federal agencies they do nothing crazy like that.

@jackfrost11770: That's like a huge pitfall. People say it's easy to get into like med school or law school through West Point and it is not at all. Yeah, Russian would make you very valuable to them. You will see West Point people in law school but that's very few compared to how many went through the prelaw program there. Best just to enlist and become a combat medic. I've seen like 4 of em here anyway so you didn't really miss anything by going straight to law school.

I "speak" Dutch but never used it after training back in 2012. Russian is great if you can get into INTEL but outside of that they would just assign you a lot of NATO roles if you go EUCOM. If you go Jag it may score you a nice job in Europe but at this point with the lack of benefits the military would give you just go state department as an attorney and you will travel the world.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Oh yeah, I get that. My buddy just got back from Jordan and he gained like 25 lbs there just being a fat ass doordashing for 50 cents a delivery.
yeah haha i mean i was like 15 so i didn't know anything, and yeah that makes complete sense. my main thing was that i knew i didn't want to go to medical school and i didn't want to straight out enlist so that kinda closed the door on that

please listen

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: indeed, it could but I could also just like visit on my own time. Though I have met like 10 or so JAG officers that got an Italian or French or Spanish wife while over in Europe so that is cool.
but i'd love to talk to you about that sometime if that's alright because i've been seriously considering INTEL and other similar roles but i know quite literally nothing about it and don't know where to start researching

@glovediedthisishismom: oh my god that guy is a psychopath. Tjhat guy scares me.

@jackfrost11770: I have my undergrad in Intelligence and Terrorism and worked a good bit in the IC so I can answer some broad questions but not many direct because the nature of the field. If you want to go to law school and get your JD it really depends what intel work you would want to do and where you want to live.
thank you!! yeah i also know they always need STEM grads ofc, so i know i have that going for me as well
