What are the estate tax effects of an installment loan?

Mary Ortega Asked: What are the estate tax effects of an installment loan?

One of my clients want an installment loan for their son. What are the tax effects of a note released through my client's will or trust? What would the tax effects be if the note is released in the loan agreement at the death of my client?

your question is most confusing, are you asking if an installment note can be issued to a son thru the trust of the parent?
this is probably more a legal question than one of taxes, and it would seem to me that the trust is not in the position of making such a contract but the terms of the trust would need to be accessed
