From the supplier: An IRS ruling addressed the tax treatment of the formation and management of an off-shore trust with a US partnership as its corpus and US beneficiaries. The IRS found, consistent with the taxpayers' wishes, that the transfer of limited partnership interests by the settlers to the trust were taxable gifts. The partnership interests were not includible for estate tax purposes as the trust was a grantor trust and the portion of the trust owned by each settler would not be so owned at death.
