Estate Planning: How Taxes Affect Your Assets at Death

Tax laws are about to change. It’s imperative to have a plan in place to protect the wealth you’ve built. This guide will help you understand the taxes that have the potential to erode the value of your estate.

  • Provide your heirs with a death benefit that is generally income and estate tax-free (if structured properly).
  • Provide liquidity to help pay any estate taxes that may be due.
  • Ensure any outstanding debts are paid.
  • Manage probate costs.
  • Protect against potential creditor issues.
