A qualified personal residence trust (QPRT) is a statutory estate freeze technique that generally has a grantor making a gift of a remainder interest in a personal residence (often to children) while retaining an interest in the home for a term of years (Sec. 2702; Regs. Sec. 25.2702-5(c)).  This article discusses what happens if the residence is sold during the QPRT term.
