For transfers to minors that qualify for the annual gift tax exclusion, you may opt to transfer the gift to a UTMA account, a Section 529 Plan, or a 2503© Minor’s Trust. Learn more about a transfer under UTMA, Section 529 and a 2503© Minor’s Trust.
In addition, you may use a Crummey Trust for transferring a gift to a minor that still qualifies for the annual gift tax exclusion. A Crummey Minor’s Trust, or Crummey Trust, derives its name from a case that established the Trust’s effectiveness for securing the annual gift exclusion, Crummey v. Commission.
A Crummey Trust, unlike a 2503© Minor’s Trust, avoids the mandatory termination of the trust at age 21. In order for each contribution to the Crummey Trust to qualify for the annual gift exclusion; however, the beneficiary must be given a right of withdrawal for each contribution. This is usually a 30 or 60-day withdrawal right. Notice of the withdrawal right must be provided to the beneficiary.
