The window to take advantage of generous GST planning opportunities and to repair GST planning mistakes might be closing. Political risk suggests at least the possibility that the current generous GST exclusion may be reduced substantially. This is a critical time to discuss GST planning with clients.
These 22 Practical Clauses Address:
1: Crucial GST exclusion planning issues involving lifetime transfers to be made as well as those made in prior years for which corrections and revisions are still possible and
2: Inserting the proper language in estate planning documents to be certain that each individual takes the maximum desired advantage of the GST exclusion, especially taking into account that the exclusion is not portable.

The generation-skipping transfer tax (GST) exclusion is set at $12.06 million per person for 2022, and indexed for inflation going forward. The law allowing this exclusion (the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) is set to sunset after 2025, when the exclusion reverts to approximately $6 million per person. The GST exclusion is NOT portable. It is a “use it or lose it” opportunity for each person.
