Eight Key Estate-Planning Tips You Can Take to the Bank
By Joy Matak
Principal and Trusts and Estates National Practice Co-Leader, CohnReznick
|
As 2019 nears the end, it's time to get your finances and your estate in shape. The federal exemption from estate taxes has never been higher, and income taxes are relatively low. Before the holidays arrive to eat up your time and money, here are eight estate-planning tips you can take to the bank, or your financial advisor:
1. Reduce your taxes and protect your wealth
The federal estate tax exemption as of Jan. 1, 2019, is $11.4 million. This exemption is scheduled to be reduced by half in 2026. If the so-called "blue wave" of 2018 continues through the 2020 elections, the federal estate tax exemption could be changed much earlier than current law requires. Responsible planning may be structured to reduce your taxable estate, save income taxes, and protect your assets from creditors - in a way that permits you to continue to have access to your assets.
2. Update your plan
If you have a trust that's even five years old, you may need a more up-to-date trust drafted to be more powerful, robust, tailored, and flexible. Flexibility is key, because the world keeps changing, as do the stock market and tax laws. Trusts that were set up more than a few years ago are unlikely to provide the robust terms that up-to-date trusts provide, such as a modification provision, having trust protectors who can monitor trustees, and make midcourse changes, and more.
3. State income tax issues
Now that federal tax reform has reduced state and local tax deductions, it may be time to consider moving that trust from a high-tax jurisdiction to a state that has reduced or eliminated state income taxes for trusts. States such as Nevada, South Dakota, and Alaska have enhanced the benefits of moving there by increasing asset protection.
