Many of us are wondering whether or not our Executors, Administrators, beneficiaries or Trustees will have to pay estate taxes at the time of our death. I came across an excellent article in Smart Money that will help you answer the question, Will My Estate Owe Estate Taxes? This should help you get a better understanding of where you and your estate stand with regard to the possible tax issues at the time of your death.
There are also some excellent strategies to consider in helping to reduce the estate taxes owed by your estate. Some basic considerations mentioned are gifting, bypass trust planning, life insurance and life insurance trusts. If you have any questions in this regard please give me a call at 610 933-8069 or drop me an email at dkaune@utbf.com.
