[WSBAPT] Tax allocation provision

[Diane J. Kiepe]

I have a question that may be super easy and I'd like to plead Monday exhaustion.

When drafting your tax allocation provisions and you have a WA Bypass Trust and then Balance to spouse (either outright or in trust), there should be no taxes and I get that (although who know what government branch will do what to be able to tax more money) but do you still draft for that contingency and if so, would you mind sharing your approach and logic?  I am feeling like a dog chasing my tail.
