Today, three primary systems of wealth transfer tax planning apply in the United States – gift tax, estate tax and generation-skipping transfer tax. To minimize the impact these taxes may have on a transfer of your wealth, we take great care in the advance planning – taking into account each taxing scenario, the associated issues and concepts and the applicable state law.

We will also take a holistic approach to your tax planning by considering and incorporating, where applicable, other planning vehicles you may have in place, including life insurance policies and retirement plans.

A certain degree of flexibility is built into each and every plan to respond to the possibility of future change, whether in the tax laws, the economy or a family situation.
