2012 may be the best year to make sizeable non-charitable gifts because this year each U.S. citizen has $5,120,000 of lifetime exemption from federal gift tax and New Jersey does not have any gift tax. Next year the lifetime exemption from federal gift tax is scheduled to revert to $1,000,000. Some clients with wealth are reluctant to take advantage of this opportunity because they fear they may need the money should their fortunes reverse. Stacy Eastland, the Managing Director of the Investment Management Division of Goldman Sachs & Company will describe techniques that permit the donor to give his or her assets to a trust or limited partnership in 2012 yet allow the donor subsequent indirect access to the gift and its reinvested proceeds.
