Sea Change:  Estate Planning in a Changing World

For years estate planners were consumed with maximizing gifts while worrying about whether Congress would either permanently repeal or dramatically increase the estate tax. In late 2011, with the institution of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Congress effectively decided to do neither. With that, the estate planning world believed it had entered a period of consistency. That has not been the case. Three major forces have come together to, in many ways, fundamentally shift the whole nature of estate planning. 

Understanding how this new estate planning climate came about and, more importantly, what to do about it, comes down to understanding the three major forces behind it: changes in federal and state tax laws, recent legislative enactments, and a variety of environmental dynamics.  Jere will discuss how these forces could impact you.
