Avoiding Taxes to Preserve Your Estate
Without proper estate planning, taxes could potentially reduce the size of your estate. We may be able to help clients protect their estates from state and federal estate tax, gift tax, capital gains tax and more. We do this using a number of asset protection strategies, many involve revocable and irrevocable trusts such as:
- Credit shelter trusts/bypass trusts/disclaimer trusts
- Life insurance trusts
- Qualified personal residence trusts
While you are doing your estate planning, we can do additional planning, including disability planning and Medicaid planning, to make sure you are prepared in the event that you do need long-term care in the future. We help you with this planning while you are still healthy and before long-term care planning is a concern. This way everything is in place if you need it.
