Taxation & Estate Planning in California

Various taxes can play a large part in the transfer of your estate to your heirs upon your passing. This is why proper estate planning is so important. Three types of federal transfer taxes may apply to the transfer of an estate depending on your estate value. These include estate taxes, gift taxes, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. Our firm can educate you on these types of taxes and their potential impact on your estate. For example, estate taxes only come into play on exceptionally large estates while anyone can make tax-free gifts of a certain amount to family members annually. Estate plans that include various types of trusts can work in your favor to eliminate or minimize taxes as well as probate expenses and court fees. 

Wealth Transfer Strategies

Many tax-efficient ways exist in which you can transfer your wealth to your family. These include such strategies as making annual tax-free gifts of a certain amount to the next generation, making direct payments to entities or institutions for a family member’s medical care or educational tuition, making loans to family members according to IRS rules, or setting up certain grantor trusts, such a grantor retained annuity trusts, and more. Our firm provides planning that includes financial, tax, and estate considerations based on your goals and unique financial circumstances.
