David Blair of QuadCap Wealth Management provides several updates on Estate Planning.
Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease) August 23, 2011 - Estate planning is still in a state of flux; in 2012 the estate tax rate is set to go up to 55%, the amounts that were in place before 2001. Also after 2012 the $5 million exemption for gift and estate taxes is also scheduled to decrease to 1 million dollars. As of right now individuals can gift away up to 5 million dollars of assets free of estate taxes, this amount is 10 million for married couples if one wanted to use up there exemption during life. Once a donor makes a completed gift the income and appreciation from these assets are no longer in the donor's estate. Individuals can each give $13,000 per year to any individual and not use up your lifetime gift tax exemption.
