Generation Skipping Trust is a type of legally binding trust agreement in
which the contributed assets are passed down to the grantor's grandchildren, not
the grantor's children. The generation to which the grantor's children belong
skips the opportunity to receive the assets in order to avoid the estate taxes
that would apply if the assets were transferred to them.
