Great Planning Strategies that are Underused or Not Understood

Presented by Alan Gassman

 

There are many income, estate tax, and creditor protection strategies that available for clients that are not commonly used, but perhaps should be.

These include the following:

  • Methods to avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated asset, after the death of a spouse or older relative, 

  • Methods to fund most of a married couples assets into a credit shelter trust on the first death. 

  • Methods to allow the descendants of a decedent to get the equivalent of an income tax deductions for dispositions to charity and death.

  • Methods to protect business assets creditors, 

  • Using trusts for marital planning, in case of a divorce or unexpected spouse married by a widow or widower. 

  • Having income of a trust taxed at the brackets of a child. 

And more.
