Summary

This confidential J.P. Morgan document, page 5 of a set from a House Oversight collection, illustrates the 'Economic flows of Cascading GRATs,' a complex financial and estate planning strategy. It models a hypothetical 5-year scenario where a $50 million initial investment is moved through a series of Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs) to transfer wealth from a 'grantor' to a 'beneficiary', with calculations based on a 2000 Tax Court ruling. The document is for illustrative purposes only and does not name specific individuals involved in a transaction.
