QUALIFIED DOMESTIC TRUST
If you, a U.S. citizen, marry a non-citizen, the federal government taxes your estate as soon as you pass, leaving your spouse with a lot less to live on. One of the ways to provide for your non-citizen spouse is to set up a qualified domestic trust or QDOT instead of a regular trust.
