This requirement poses no problem if a GRAT is creat=d and funded on th= same day with a single asset. However, it may not always be possible to transfer assets quickly or =t a specified tim=, especially where the client wishes to contribute multiple assets to a single GRAT. If the IRS deter=ines that the gr=ntor has made one or more addi =ional contributions, the trust will be dis qualified as a GRAT and the grantor will be deemed to have made a current gift of =/div> the trust assets (d=sregarding the grantor's retained interest) to the remainder benefi ciaries.
