Estate Tax Planning
When it comes to estate tax planning, any asset you own or control is part of your taxable estate. No matter the size of your net worth, it is incredibly important to undertake estate tax planning, because the goal of estate tax planning is to reduce the amount of taxes your beneficiaries will need to pay upon your death.
Your assets typically include IRAs and retirement plans, life insurance, annuities, real estate and other property, any assets held in a revocable trust, and any assets held as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. In other words, it’s a lot to take into consideration.
If your estate’s value is less than $12.92 million (in 2023), your beneficiaries will receive a credit towards the federal tax owed – that’s called an applicable exclusion. If the taxable estate is more than that, filling an estate tax return is required and the applicable exclusion reduces the amount of estate tax due. As you may have guessed, the applicable exclusion can either eliminate or reduce your estate tax bill, which is one thing we will look at.
No matter what your situation, the team at TPI will work with you to create an estate plan that covers all of your taxable assets and includes a will, power of attorney, and medical power of attorney.
If it makes sense for your situation, we will move your estate into a trust. Trusts allow you to reduce your estate and gift taxes and distribute assets to your heirs without the expense, delay and publicity of probate court. Trusts can also offer greater protection of your assets from creditors and lawsuits.

Life Insurance Role in Estate Tax Planning
Life insurance plays a vital role in estate tax planning, offering a way to reposition assets to provide additional financial security for your family while also minimizing inheritance tax and income tax.
Many people do not realize that the IRS does not tax life insurance proceeds as taxable income for the recipient. For substantial estates, life insurance can provide liquidity to pay any estate or gift taxes. This is very helpful if the estate’s assets are tied up in a family business or real estate.
