If I’m about to get an investment payoff, what is the best way to give my sister and her husband some money?
After taxes are paid I want to give my sister and husband some money. I am told that I cannot gift it to them because it’s a 6 figure income. Would it be better to set up a Trust and pay them monthly out of it?

You are a generous person and your sister is lucky to have you. You should speak with an estate planner as to what is the best avenue for you to proceed. A Trust would definitely be one way of disburing income to them. Good luck.
