SEASONS

 Under the new tax law, post-ATRA, estate planning has taken on an entirely new meaning. For taxable estates, planning will increasingly focus on “income tax” planning, management of tax basis and numerous related issues, and maximizing the "step-up" in basis at death. Professionals are presented with an entirely new set of questions. We must begin to think very differently. As professionals, we must begin to measure various tax costs – the transfer tax costs (including state estate and inheritance taxes) against the income tax savings from the "step-up", or against future, imbedded income tax liabilities; analyzing and developing new strategies and techniques for different types of assets; “recapturing” or swapping, exchanging, transacting, using assets that have already been transferred, multiplying theapplicable exclusion amount; using trust and partnership elections, distributions, and reorganizations to maximize the "step-up" and "split" income across taxpayers. This presentation has become the “hottest” in our industry. Paul Lee is a nationally known expert and is recognized as the leader in this new paradigm of estate planning. Paul recently presented two sessions at Heckerling and will be bringing his newest and most current ideas to the GNJEPC. Come and listen to the best ideas in the industry today.
