Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Margaret builds her dynasty with careful planning mind
Trust structures spanning decades, leaving no heir behind
Generation-skipping transfers dodge the middle tier
Grandchildren inherit millions while the taxes disappear

[Chorus]
GST exemption, forced heirship rules
Cross-border complications, learn these vital tools
Eleven million lifetime gift, skip a generation
Treaty shopping, situs planning, wealth preservation

[Verse 2]
In Louisiana's civil code, children claim their share
Forced heirship overrides your will, legitimate portions there
But move your assets offshore to jurisdictions free
Where common law traditions let you choose your legacy

[Chorus]
GST exemption, forced heirship rules
Cross-border complications, learn these vital tools
Eleven million lifetime gift, skip a generation
Treaty shopping, situs planning, wealth preservation

[Verse 3]
Swiss accounts and Monaco trusts shift your taxable base
Source versus residence determines your filing place
Double taxation treaties carve the burden clean
While stepped-up basis vanishes when crossing the marine

[Bridge]
Dynasty trusts in Delaware stretch for centuries long
While perpetuity rules vary, some expire before your song
Grantor trust elections let you pay the income freight
Freezing values, gifting growth before appreciation's weight

[Chorus]
GST exemption, forced heirship rules
Cross-border complications, learn these vital tools
Eleven million lifetime gift, skip a generation
Treaty shopping, situs planning, wealth preservation

[Outro]
Plan the family office structure, CFC compliance tight
Estate freeze partnerships discount future wealth's flight
From simple wills to complex schemes across the global stage
Advanced strategies multiply wealth from age to age
