Help your clients understand how to incorporate charitable giving, tax planning and legacy planning all at once. This presentation will focus on tax-wise planning strategies that advisors should consider with their clients when the Estate Tax Exemption comes to an end in 2025. The higher exemption presents a unique use-it-or-lose-it opportunity, and affluent families should avoid taking a set-it-and-forget-it approach. Now is the time to begin conversations with families that hadn’t worried about Estate Taxes after the exemption was increased in 2018 as many people will need to consider plans that they hadn’t thought about previously.

Understand how philanthropic conversations elevate the advisor in the client’s mind
Identify clients that will be impacted by the changes in the Estate Tax Exemption. Navigate this new philanthropic conversation with fresh techniques and a roadmap
