- Bypass Trust
- A trust for couples designed to save on federal estate tax at the death of the second spouse. When the first spouse dies, the trust is split into two, one of which is called the bypass trust because the property it holds bypasses taxation when the second spouse dies.(See also: AB trust, credit shelter trust)
