Estate + Year-End Tax Planning
Annual year-end planning is more than a review of your personal income taxes—a review of your estate plan and taxes is an important part of your year-end tax assessment. Our skilled estate planning team offers the resources you need for a successful year-end plan.
Lifetime Gifting Exemption
The lifetime gifting exemption is a valuable—but temporary—strategy to protect your family now and in the future. In 2024, individual taxpayers have a lifetime exemption of $13.61 million, and married couples have $27.22 million to gift or leave to heirs.
In 2026, the exemption will revert to the pre-2018 levels, projected to be between $6 – 7 million per person, as adjusted for inflation. Our advisors will craft a timely plan to help ensure maximum tax savings for you and your loved ones now before time runs out.
