The two beneficiaries want to swap property per TEDRA with an equalizing amount of less than $50k going to one of the beneficiaries. The rub is that there is not enough other probate assets to do so, but plenty of non-probate assets. As a result, WAC 458-61A-202 examples (4)© and 5© don’t cleanly/clearly apply. With TEDRA, might the court order exemption apply ( (6)(g))? Any other ideas? Paying the tax on less than $50k consideration certainly wouldn’t be the end of the world but if there clearly is an exemption, we’d jump on it.
