Study Finds Estate Planning Solutions From Biden Tax Plan

Before Dec 31, 2020, wealthy families need actionable ideas to use up their $11.58 estate tax exclusion with the benefits of top trust law states such as South Dakota for control and choice according to a report published by Wealth Advisors Trust Company. The Biden Tax Plan proposes reducing the current estate tax exclusion from $11.58 million to $6 million.

 A team lead by family corporate trustee management expert, Christopher Holtby, has published a report about estate tax issues and solutions affecting the top 1% of wealthy families in America. The report concluded:

a) Current estate and gift tax exemption amount, inflation adjusted, highest level in 100 years.
b) Top 1% have tripled their net worth since the 2009 financial crisis.
c) November election results could reduce estate and gift tax exemption amounts by 50% or more.
d) Wealthy families use South Dakota trust law benefits to mitigate potential reduction.
e) These ideas and suggestions follow logical and simple processes.
