Clients have three years left to use the enhanced unified credit before it gets cut in half. Putting holistic techniques in place that consider tax, financial planning, and asset protection sooner rather than later will be important. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS, interviews Marty Shenkman, CPA/PFS, JD, and Jonathan Blattmachr, JD, to get their thoughts on using SLATs and other strategies. They answer the following questions: How do SLATs work? Why are SLATs and other techniques effective for clients who won't be subject to the estate tax even when the unified credit is cut in half? Why is it important to mix and match techniques like SLATs, DAPTs, hybrid DAPTs, and SPATs to get the best results for your clients? What are the most critical considerations for making sure that your clients get the most access to these trust assets?

Join us for a fascinating conversation with attorney and tax expert Marty Shenkman about the practical lessons estate planning and other financial professionals can learn from the Levine case – a precedent-setting tax court decision. Although the Levine case involved intergenerational split dollar, lessons learned from the case are helpful in other planning contexts. In this episode, we explore: * Keys to the taxpayer's victory in successfully structuring the intergenerational split dollar arrangement * The importance of using “excess capital” for legacy-planning strategies, and the financial planner's role in determining and documenting available excess capita * Why clients should be diligent in selecting qualified, competent legal counsel as part of a collaborative planning team For financial professional use only.

This episode is the second part of my interview with Marty Shenkman, an attorney whose private practice concentrates on estate planning. When his wife was diagnosed with MS, he recognized how different planning looks for people with chronic illness and it changed his whole approach to estate planning. If you haven't heard the first part, please visit https://fumsnow.com/fums101When I announced that I'd be talking to Marty about estate planning with a chronic illness, I was inundated with questions from the FUMS community. So in part two of my interview, we try to get through as many of them as possible. As Marty says, the answers he gives here are for educational purposes only and are intended to give you a broad overview of the issues you might face. They should not be used as a substitute for personally tailored, professional advice. Thank you, Marty, for how generous you were with your time. We've barely scratched the surface, so I'm looking forward to having you on the podcast again soon!Full show notes and resources at https://fumsnow.com/fums102/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
