Bypass Trust
Definition of "Bypass trust"
Type of trust used to remove assets from a surviving spouse's estate, thereby excluding such assets from federal estate tax upon the death of the surviving spouse.

A bypass trust permits a maximum of $1.2 million transfer to heirs of the spouses on a tax-free basis under the unified gift and estate tax credits.
