Qualified Domestic Trust
Definition of "Qualified domestic trust"
Type of trust established for the purpose of permitting the federal estate marital deduction for assets transferred from the decedent's estate to a surviving spouse who is not a citizen of the United States. The trustee for this trust must be a United States corporation or citizen, and if the assets are in excess of $2,000,000, the trustee must be a United States bank.
