Navigating Estate and Gift Taxes


An estate tax is imposed on transfers of assets after death, while a gift tax is on asset transfers during life. Federal law dictates amounts and exemptions, while many states have also opted to impose an estate or inheritance tax. Estate tax is typically only imposed on a higher-value estate, but be aware as your assets can add up quickly. Also note, if your heirs opt to sell off your property or business at a profit, they may incur a capital gains tax.

A tax advisor will be able to guide you through the current tax laws, so you can best allocate your estate to your heirs. For more valuable information on estate taxation, please review the following links:
