Event Synopsis:

Discussion of the recently enacted 2010 Tax Relief Act has mostly focused on the extension of the Bush-era income tax cuts. However, there’s another important consideration: the Act’s impact on estate planning. The new law reunifies the gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer tax exemptions at $5 million – but just for 2011 and 2012. It also sets the rate for these three taxes at 35%. But barring Congressional action, these benefits disappear in 2013, when we’ll be back to a top rate of 55% for the three taxes and $1 million gift and estate tax exemptions, a $1 million+ GST exemption. Thus, uncertainties abound. Nevertheless, 2011 and 2012 offer some unprecedented planning opportunities – and traps for the unwary.

The Knowledge Group’s LIVE web cast will explore some of these issues and opportunities and will provide valuable information and analysis. The 2010 Tax Relief Act: Estate Planning Considerations for 2011 and Beyond LIVE Webcast is a must attend for: estate planning attorneys, counsel, administrators, tax advisors, tax professionals, business owners with wealth transfer concerns, and industry watchers.
