Description

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 made "temporary" changes in the transfer tax rules. The result of these changes is that from 2018 through 2025 only very high-net-worth individuals need to worry about the federal estate tax since most individuals will never acquire property equal to the amount of the estate and gift exemption amounts for the current year. Accordingly, tax practitioners with super high-net-worth clients need to have a working knowledge of the current estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax rules.

  • Tax planning strategies for super high-net-worth individuals
  • Using gifting to reduce the ultimate impact of the estate tax
  • Trusts that can be used effectively to reduce the ultimate transfer tax on the family unit

  • Using an intentionally defective grantor trust—what it is and how it works
  • Role of family partnerships for a super high-net-worth family
  • Pros and cons of using a dynasty trust
  • Using qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs) to reduce or eliminate the transfer tax

  • Understand and apply the best planning transfer tax strategies for super high-net-worth families
