How do recent tax law changes affect my existing trust and estate plan?
Recent tax legislation can significantly impact estate plans, particularly when federal exemption amounts change or new tax rates take effect. The current federal estate tax exemption is $15,000,000 per person, but this amount has fluctuated with different administrations and could change again.
