Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) June 9, 2008 -- The National Association of Financial and Estate Planning has officially released its latest offering known as the iTrust. This new offering was developed to deliver a simpler, lower cost solution for providing checkbook control for self directed IRAs. The iTrust provides clients with checkbook control for their IRA account via a specially designed Trust. The iTrust enables clients to do what they did with an LLC, but removes state filing fees and franchise taxes in most cases.

The iTrust is a Trust created for the benefit of an IRA account. The IRA account holder directs the Trustee/Custodian (American Estate & Trust, LC, a licensed Trust company), to purchase beneficial interest in the Trust. American Estate & Trust funds the Trust and acts as the Trustee. The account holder is appointed as the financial manager of the Trust. Once the iTrust is funded the account holder is able to execute transactions and provide the ongoing support and maintenance of the assets held by the iTrust.

The primary benefit of the iTrust over the LLC is that the iTrust does not have any state filing fees up front or ongoing, and in most cases the iTrust is not subject to state franchise taxes. The iTrust provides a simpler, lower total cost of ownership solution for self directed IRAs versus the LLC version.
