What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
My faher has a irrevocable life insurance trust that I am the trustee for. He also has a revocable trust (called a nominee trust in MA) that he holds other assets in (Home, bank accounts, brokerage account). I am co-trustee with him onthe revocable trust. At death the revocable trust becomes a typical family trust. To simplify matters and avoid having to file multiple tax returns for the trusts, at his death can I take the assets from the family trust and distribute them into the insurance trust? I have sole discretion as to how and when to distribute to the beneficiaries of the trusts (which happen to be the same individuals)
