Tis the Season to Consider Gifting!
By: Anthony J. Enea, Esq. & Lauren C. Enea, Esq.
|
|
|
With the holidays fast approaching and the possibility that the current Federal Estate and Gift Tax exemption, will be reduced from $12,920,000 per person (for 2023) ($13,610,000 for 2024) to approximately $6,000,000 as of January 2026, the importance of deciding whether to make significant monetary and/or property gifts to one’s children, grandchildren and other loved ones or to a Trust for their benefit is significantly higher.
For high net worth individuals, the potential loss of millions of dollars because of estate taxes is an important issue; especially if the opportunity to gift significant amounts is to expire in the near future. Thus, utilizing one’s exemption before January 1, 2026, should be explored. Additionally, if one’s estate is near the New York Estate Tax exemption of $6,580,000 for 2023, utilizing one’s federal gift tax exemption is a valuable tool in reducing the possibility of an onerous New York Estate Tax as well.
