<p>The IRS has approved a court’s modification to a trust containing a drafting error that could have triggered significant transfer tax to the surviving spouse. As a result of the modification, the surviving spouse will not be considered to (1) possess a general power of appointment over the trust at his death, (2) have released a power during his life, or (3) have made a deemed gift of an interest in the trust.</p>
