The Best Gift You Can Give
By: Lauren C. Enea, Esq.
|
|
|
As individuals approach the later stages of their lives, effective estate planning becomes crucial. One mode of estate planning is generational gifting, which allows individuals to transfer wealth to their heirs during their lifetime rather than waiting until their passing. This approach not only helps reduce potential estate tax liabilities, especially in New York, but also often strengthens family bonds and provides immediate financial support to loved ones.
Gifting can be done in a number of ways: outright gifts, gifts in trusts, or even paying for expenses (such as medical and/or educational) expenses for a loved one directly, which is often considered when gifting assets to college-age grandchildren.
