If you provide estate and/or trust planning, you know that it is necessary and important to explain many terms to your clients. Doing so can take up a lot of your time. This incredibly comprehensive glossary, prepared and used by Steve Siegel, will save you that time and build client goodwill.  Use this form as is or modify and personalize it for your estates, gifts and trusts clients.

Consider how the power of appointment device can be used by contemporary estate planners to achieve important non-tax dispositive goals: flexibility, control, and creditor protection. As an example, Client wants to create a testamentary trust for Client’s Child for life, and then to Client’s Grandchildren. Client does not like the rigidity that would result if the remainder interest was simply left to Grandchildren. Rather, he wants Child to decide up until his death how the trust principal will be enjoyed by Client’s Grandchildren.

2024 presents a continuing and compelling planning opportunity for many of our clients. The 2024 election and the sunset of the 2017 Act after 2025 are not all that far away. It is suggested that planning discussions and actions need to be addressed with clients sooner rather than later.

The 2024 Estate and Tax Client Planning Letter details several planning opportunities to consider in 2024.  The letter encourages clients to take a fresh look at their planning situation to be sure that their decisions and documents express and memorialize those decisions, are up to date and take maximum advantage of the estate planning, income tax and business planning opportunities offered by the tax law.  

The passage of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has heralded a new era in estate planning. The greatly increased transfer tax exclusion to $11.18 million, indexed for inflation, is effective from 2018 through 2025, when it is suspended, and returns to the 2017 levels, indexed for inflation. Taking into account political risk, the opportunity to take advantage of the 2017 law could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Portability is retained. Estate tax planning is “simplified” for many people. Seeking optimal income tax basis adjustments is a goal for everyone.
