Estate & Gift Tax Planning

Working hard is the American way. From a global viewpoint, people in the U.S. work more than those from other countries in Europe and around the world. So it makes sense that after a lifetime of hard work individuals want to be sure their assets are distributed to family members and others in a way consistent with their wishes. Unfortunately, if estate and gift tax planning is not conducted it may result in higher taxes upon death leaving less for loved ones. For this reason, it’s essential to conduct estate and gift tax planning to ensure that remaining assets are taxed at the lowest rate possible. In addition, this type of planning often creates immediate tax savings providing an immediate benefit.
