Q.T. is an abbreviation for qui tam action, which is a type of lawsuit where a private individual sues on behalf of the government.

QTIP stands for qualified-terminable-interest property. This is a type of property that can be put into a trust to provide income for a surviving spouse, while also ensuring that the property goes to other beneficiaries after the spouse's death.

A QTIP trust is a type of trust that holds QTIP property. It is often used in estate planning to provide for a surviving spouse while also controlling how the property is distributed after their death.

Qua is a Latin word that means "in the capacity of" or "as." For example, a fiduciary (someone who manages money for someone else) can be liable for fraud as an individual, but not in their capacity as a fiduciary.
