[WSBAPT] interim trust distribution

[Shannon Jones]

Listmates, Completing a trust administration and client trustee wants to make interim distributions to beneficiaries but we do not have WA DOR clearance letter yet. WA taxable estate and there is a potential issue with delay in funding the credit shelter trust. Is the beneficiaries' signature to a simple form "release" sufficient to insulate trustee from personal liability related to WA estate taxes? Should it be a more detailed release or TEDRA? If we just wait for the DOR letter, do I need a release or TEDRA at all? Thanks for any input - Shannon
