HOW ESTATE PLANNING HELPS WITH TAX MINIMIZATIONS

Gift Tax

Estate planning can help you save money on gift taxes by allowing you to give assets to loved ones during your lifetime. You can minimize the size of your estate by gifting assets, which reduces the amount of estate tax that may be required upon your death.

Estate Tax

Estate planning can also assist in lowering estate taxes by reducing the value of your estate. This can be accomplished by forming a trust or making charitable contributions. In 2023, the estate tax exemption is $12.06 million.

Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax (GSTT)

Estate planning can also help reduce GSTT by allowing you to transfer assets to grandkids or other future generations without incurring gift or estate taxes.

Income Tax

By transferring assets to beneficiaries in a tax-efficient manner, estate planning can also help to reduce income taxes. For example, assets that have risen in value can be passed to beneficiaries through a trust, allowing capital gains tax to be minimized.

PROBATE AVOIDANCE ATTORNEY

The legal procedure for managing an estate when a person passes away is called probate. It entails confirming the validity of the decedent’s will (if there was one), locating and appraising their assets, paying any debts and taxes due, and then distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.

Assets may be held hostage for months or even years during the protracted and expensive process of probate. Additionally, the specifics of the estate are made public, which may not be what some people want, and the court decides the fate of everything you love, including who takes care of your children. The attorneys at Lifetime Estate regularly practice in probate court, dealing with the most common issues in wills, trusts, and intestate matters. This means when we create your estate plan, we know how to best protect you from the most common issues currently being litigated.

We help your family affairs stay private and ensure that your final wishes are actionable in the eyes of the law.

SOME COMMON METHODS OF PROBATE AVOIDANCE INCLUDE:

Establishing a Trust
Joint Ownership
Beneficiary Designations
Gifts
Advanced Financial Planning

It’s important to keep in mind that each state has different probate laws, and some jurisdictions have streamlined the probate process for smaller estates. It’s also crucial to speak with an estate planning lawyer to figure out the best probate avoidance tactics for your particular situation.
