Jerry and Jeannie (married) have 6 children (three are married) and 8 grandchildren. Four of the grandchildren are in college. The other four are scheduled to at least begin college sometime in the next 10 years. Jerry and Jeannie want to reduce their taxable estate by paying college tuition for their grandchildren as well as by gifting as much as they can to their family each year. Assume that the annual gift exclusion amount is $15,000 and that it will remain so indefinitely. Assume that they will give the maximum gift to each child/grandchild each year for a 10 year period. Assume that they will pay all of the college tuition due for their grandchildren during that 10 year period.
