What’s Inside?
Interest rates that are used to calculate the gift tax deduction in estate planning strategies are at historically low levels in response to the slowdown of the economy and the onset of the pandemic in 2020. As a result, there is a planning opportunity for practitioners who work with charitably inclined clients who wish to transfer significant wealth to their heirs at a reduced gift or estate tax cost. This guide will demonstrate that through a charitable lead trust, clients can benefit charity now and minimize gift and estate taxes in shifting wealth to the next generation.
This guide addresses the complexities of estate planning in the midst of a low-interest rate environment and COVID-19.
