Planning for the eventual reduction in the federal estate tax exemption.
With the federal exemption so high, many clients can have simpler estate plans. However, estate planners should advise their clients on how to address potential changes in the exemption, such as keeping a formula-gift based plan which will self-adjust as the exemption amount change or taking a wait-and-see approach, so the surviving spouse and/or the client’s fiduciaries can create the credit-shelter trust, if necessary. This video reviews why there is a reduced need for credit shelter trust planning and a greater focus on income tax planning.
