Contingent remainder

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

contingent remainder n. an interest, particularly in real estate property, which will go to a person or entity only upon a certain set of circumstances existing at the time the title-holder dies. Examples of those potential circumstances include surviving one's brother or still operating the family farm next door. (See: contingent, contingent interest, future interest)


CONTINGENT REMAINDER, estates. An estate in remainder which is limited to take effect, either to a dubious and uncertain person, or upon a dubious and uncertain event, by, which no present or particular interest passes to the remainder-man, so that the particular estate may chance to be determined and the remainder never take effect. 2, Bouv. Inst. n. 1832. Vide Remainder.

1361(e) states that the following conditions must be met: * All beneficiaries of the trust must be individuals or estates eligible to be S corporation shareholders (except charitable organizations may hold contingent remainder interests); * No interest in the trust may be acquired by purchase--generally, interests must be acquired by gift or bequest; and * The trustee must file an election to be treated as a qualifying trust.
The Cristofani case represents a divergence from the IRS's strict interpretation; the tax court allowed an annual exclusion for gifts to a trust where the Crummey withdrawal powers were held by a vested contingent remainder men (grandchildren who would be beneficiaries only if their parent predeceased them).
The regulations also broadly define "property" as any beneficial interest in property including a general power of appointment and includes annuities, life estates, term interests, vested or contingent remainders, and other future interests.
