Estate Tax Planning: Working with an Accountant Can Save Money for Descendants
Recent demographic and political changes in the United States have increased the likelihood of a rise in the estate tax. No one knows for certain, as the political 
situation in the USA is fluid to say the least. That said, contentious debate about estate taxes in both California and in the USA as a whole, should service as the proverbial “wake up” call to those who have significant assets. The tax man cometh. By working with a skilled accountant, however, estate taxes can be minimized if not avoided altogether. This type of estate planning, with an eye towards taxation, allows a person or couple to pass down significant assets to their heirs, contribute to charity, and provide many other wonderful asset transfers while minimizing the legal bite of the government. The newly updated page and 2016 estate planning guide now available by Safe Harbor LLP should be required reading for anyone who faces this problem. Even better, interested parties should reach out to a qualified CPA firm for customized advice. No two estates, after all, are the same.
