How the GOP Tax Bill Could Redefine Your Estate Planning Strategy

SimplyTrustSimplyTrust Editorial·May 21, 2025·Updated August 23, 2025·1 min read

The GOP’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ could redefine your estate planning. Find out how this new tax law could impact you.

Ever wondered how political movements could influence your estate planning process? Well, the GOP’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ (OBBBA) is one such instance, introducing tax provisions that could impact all Americans, including those with trusts and estates. Remember the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) from Trump’s first term? It was considered the most significant tax law change in recent decades, increasing the estate and gift tax exemption and reducing the number of taxpayers subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The changes didn’t stop there, though. The OBBBA has made some individual AMT thresholds permanent and further raised the estate exemptions. Currently, the federal estate tax exemption applies to estates valued at over $13.99 million for single filers and $27.98 million for married couples. Under the OBBBA, these exemption limits are set to increase even further. This could mean that by 2026, single filers could exempt $15 million from estate taxes, while married couples filing jointly may exempt up to $30 million. But what does all this mean for your estate planning? The takeaway is this: with the ever-changing tax policy landscape, it’s essential to stay informed and adjust your estate plans accordingly.
