[WSBAPT] QTIP Trustee Disclaimer

[Matt Johnson]

Is there any reason why a trustee of a testamentary marital QTIP trust could not, if given authority to do so in the trust, disclaim all or a portion thereof to either a credit shelter trust or generation skipping transfer trust within nine months after the first spouse's death?

I think it is doable, but do not see it being done, so I am suspect there is an issue with that I have not uncovered.

Thank you in advance,
