Further thoughts about the estate. After I die: 1) you will have immediate assets to all liquid assets, since you are co-owner or co-trustee of all but two accounts, Bank of America Cambridge Trust Co 46-505-420 and of both of these you are deignate beneficiary on death. 2) You will be trustee of all four real estate trusts. In my judgment it is not necessary (or even desirable) to file notices of successor trusteeship such as I have drafted until a) sale is imminent or b) some other undefined contingency intervenes. 3) Be sure to file IRS Forms 1040 (April 1) and 5500EZ (July 1) in timely fashion 4) My liquid assets alone, well below $1,000,000, will not require the filing of a Massachusetts Estate Tax return. Whether I own real estate trust assets, and if so, whether they require the filing of an estate tax return is not predictable, because there is neither statute or precedent to follow. A decision by the Court would be arbitrary and unpredictable. 5) If my understanding is correct, the filing of an estate tax return creates risks of criminal penalties (for allegedly false statements) which risks are absent when no return is filed and no statements are made. 6) I understand that absence of an estate tax return makes the sale of real estate not in trust (fee simple) virtually impossible. I have no knowledge about the manner, if any, in which the absence of a filed estate tax return would affect the transfer of trust assets.
