Help your clients avoid going over the cliff or how to soften the landing by reducing the estate if they are over.

NYS has a much lower Estate tax limit ($6.11 million for 2022) and once you cross a certain threshold, the tax applies to the WHOLE estate, not just what’s over! Many NYers are closer than you think to these limits!  Join us as we go through 3 case studies and the financial planning and tax strategies that can help prevent Albany from taking one last chunk from your client’s estate. We will cover RMD, gifting and charitable giving strategies and their tax implications, Trusts, hybrid life insurance policies that your clients can benefit from while alive and their benefits when they are gone, plus other strategies.  Lastly, we will help you avoid some “potholes” along the way like how to find missing assets, outdated documents and titling accounts properly.
