NJ Insurance - 2.0 credits # 88896806 The Best Estate Planing Strategies and Techniquest for 2015

Program Summary:

We have heard for several years now – Post-ATRA – how “estate planning” has become an entirely different and new world. There is a new mindset and a new methodology. Paul Lee, a nationally recognized expert, has been at the forefront of this new world of planning. Paul has lectured extensively across the US on how estate planning will – and needs to – increasingly focus on income tax planning, the management of tax basis, and maximizing the "step-up" in basis at death. Traditional wisdom, traditional thinking can no longer be the norm. The old-age thinking of “move” or “gift” or “transfer” wealth, during lifetime, “when it doubt, get it out” and all of the “old ways of thinking and planning” are today antiquated and obsolete. We as professionals must change the way we do planning for our clients.

During this presentation, Paul will discuss his “best strategies and techniques” for the new world of estate planning in 2015 and beyond. He will introduce new concepts for “running the basis” to achieve the best possible results for our clients. You are going to hear the best of the best. This presentation will cover weighing the traditional transfer tax costs, including state estate/inheritance taxes, versus the income tax savings from the "step-up" in basis. Paul will talk about “recapturing” assets that have already been shifted, as well as how to obtain and use multiple exemption amounts. He will also cover how to remove assets from the taxable estate, protect assets from transfer taxes, and avoid the growing income tax liabilities on appreciating assets…and more! This is a “don’t want to miss” presentation!
