Family funding
Article Abstract:
Suggestions and options are presented for helping grandparents fund their grandchildren's education, and for showing children how to ask their parents for such help. Grandparents can help out, and simultaneously reduce their estates and lower their estate tax payments, by taking advantage of the U.S. gift tax rule, which allows people to give up to $10,000 per annum tax free to whomever they wish.
