  • “Trust, Estate & Elder Care Planning for Clients of Modest Wealth”

    With the passage of tax reform in 2012, and the continuing call for the reform and repeal of the “death tax,” practitioners need to diversify their practices to provide more comprehensive personal services to clients for whom sophisticated Federal estate tax planning is no longer paramount. This presentation explores the aspects of estate and tax planning for individuals whose net worth is less than $5,490,000. Focus is on planning concepts for preserving wealth to be enjoyed by the clients into their old age, including elder care concepts and asset preservation, social security planning, lifetime gifts outright and in trust, durable powers of attorney, and advance directives for healthcare. Income taxation consequences to individuals, beneficiaries, and estates arising from planning techniques are discussed as well.
