Most advisors who, including many who specialize wealth planning, frequently fail to appreciate the most fundamental fact of estate planning: It is always better for their clients and their descendants to receive wealth in trust than to receive those same assets outright. Tragically, they fail to appreciate the powerful benefits that trusts provide as well as the enormous and unnecessary loss of assets that most families will suffer if wealth is passed either outright or in a trust that is inadequately designed, implemented and operated. This session will explain the ultimate trust design strategy to provide maximum income and estate tax benefits, and creditor and divorce protection for your clients. The session will also discuss why trusts are likely to be the most powerful income tax shelter device that your clients and how trusts can be used to obtain multiple basis step-up.
How trusts can be designed to shelter wealth from estate taxes, creditors, divorcing spouses and many income taxes without giving up control.
To dispel popular “myths” that trusts are too complex; too controlling; too expensive and are income tax inefficient, when the opposite is true.
To illustrate the law of unintended consequences that control plus beneficial enjoyment is always superior to owning wealth outright.
Why trusts are not only for the wealthy, but why they should be used by almost all of our clients.
To learn the “best” way to own property.
