GENERAL INFO & AGENDA
Everything an estate planner does is almost universally driven by tax considerations and some very important non- tax objectives. Balancing the two is an art. Every recommendation made, and every recommendation not made, both combine to measure the caliber and completeness of advice. Recent developments flow like a waterfall from multiple sources both Federal and state. Staying on top of what is going on, particularly change, is a must.
