Answer 1

The statement that is not correct regarding a dynasty trust is:

D. Dynasty trusts can be established in all states.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dynasty trust is a long-term trust created for the purpose of passing wealth from one generation to the next generation, without incurring transfer taxes, such as the gift tax, estate tax, or generation-skipping transfer tax (GSTT) for as long as the assets remain in the trust. The dynasty trust's defining characteristic is its long duration. For example, in California it can last for 90 years.
