Your Clients Want a KISS Plan, but the IRS May Have the Last Dance—Planning for Simplicity and Tax Efficiency, for Clients who May Not Have to Pay Estate Tax

Miriam Wogan Henry

Clients see the benefit in simplicity and are asking why they need complex planning with high estate tax exemptions.  But the answers are not so simple.  A simple plan can run as smoothly as a well-timed two-step or it can turn out to be a tangled twist—the IRS may have the last dance if you don’t plan carefully.  This program will consider:

            *  The benefits of a simple plan and how to help you client determine if KISS is the right route for them.

            *  How to include alternatives to swing into tax savings if circumstances change.

            *  State income tax planning.

            *  Charitable and GST planning options.

Miriam Wogan Henry is a partner in the Tax Practice Group of Jones Walker LLP and a member of the Jones Walker’s board of directors. Miriam focuses on estate planning, including family wealth transfer plans, charitable planning, and business succession planning, along with advising clients regarding fiduciary litigation and transfer tax controversy matters.

Help Your Clients Keep Control of their Lives and Money if they Become Incapacitated in Later Life (Or in Their Younger Years)

Louis W. Pierro and Prof. Peter J. Strauss

Americans are aging dramatically. The 2020 census shows 16.8% - 56 million - are over 65. Six million of us are over 85, and over 100,00 are over 100!  Science and medical miracles are creating a growing population of the “oldest old.”   That’s the good news.

But the bad news is that at age 85, 50% of all older Americans need significant assistance in daily functioning. No speed walking, hiking or golf for them. Many cannot feed, dress, bath or toilet themselves, or pay their bills without assistance caused by stroke, Parkinson’s disease, ALS or dementia - requiring costly full-time care to assist in performing “activities of daily living” (ADLs). This care is considered to be “custodial” not “skilled,” costs not covered by Medicare. Individuals often become impoverished.  So how do we pay for long-term care?

At-risk seniors face other problems, not just financial ones.  Who manages financial affairs if a client is incapacitated?  Who makes health care decisions?   Who decides whether treatment at the end of life, such as tube-feeding, invasive surgery, or kidney dialysis, should be provided or withheld?  How can an incapacitated client ensure decision makers will carry out his or her wishes?

Unfortunately, most clients have not executed the necessary advance directives to manage financial affairs or make health care decisions. Elder Law is the law practice specialty that focuses on solutions to these problems: “life planning,” creating a legal structure to be managed by trusted fiduciaries who can protect the client’s autonomy to the greatest extent possible.  

You are invited to attend this webinar to learn about effective and practical legal planning for later life and how Louis W. Pierro and Peter J. Strauss, elder law attorneys at Pierro, Connor & Strauss, LLC, advise clients regarding the issues of aging and incapacity, the legal documents and strategies to meet these challenges and ways to protect assets and pay for long term care.

 

Louis W. Pierro, Esq., is the Founding Partner of Pierro, Connor & Strass, LLC, a law firm with offices in New York City, Albany and additional locations in New York, Florida, New Jersey and Massachusetts. His Firm serves clients in the areas of Estate and Trust Planning, Estate and Trust Administration, Estate and Trust Litigation, Business and Tax Planning, Elder Law and Special Needs Planning. Mr. Pierro is also a Founder of ElderCounsel, a national membership organization of Elder Law and Special Needs law firms, where he now serves as a consultant. It provides proprietary document drafting software and education to over 1400 member firms in 50 states. He is currently a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys; the American Bar Association, Probate and Trust Section; the NYS Bar Association Trusts and Estates (past Chair, Committees on Taxation and Estate Planning) and Elder Law Sections (past Chair); and the Albany County Bar Association.

 

Peter J. Strauss, Esq., Senior Partner, Pierro, Connor & Strauss, LLC. Mr. Strauss is a pioneer in the Elder Law movement with special expertise in the legal problems of aging and persons with disabilities, end of life issues and the capacity of persons with disabilities to execute legal documents with respect to health care. He is a founding member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, a Fellow of the American Academy of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Law at the New York Law School, where he teaches Elder Law and is director of the guardianship clinic. He has been selected by his peers for inclusion in the 2023 edition of The Best Lawyers in America for three practice areas: Elder Law, Litigation - Trusts and Estates, and Trusts and Estates; it is his 15th year of this recognition. He is the 2022 recipient of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys "Theresa Award," given annually by the Theresa Alessandro Russo Foundation to recognize an attorney for outstanding achievements, efforts and advocacy for individuals with disabilities. Mr. Strauss was also the recipient of the New York State Bar Association “2019 Attorney Professionalism Award,” given to one attorney in the State each year.

Corporate Transparency Act and Common Law Trusts

Jocelyn Margolin Borowski, JD, LL.M. (taxation) and Elizabeth King, JD, LL.M.

The federal government has developed yet another tool to help crack down on money laundering--this time by documenting who owns closely held companies. Private companies that are accustomed to the privacy that state law has afforded them will now have to provide key information to the federal government about who actually owns the companies.

Common law trusts aren’t directly subject to the CTA, but the CTA will impact trust administration if a trust holds an interest in an entity that’s subject to the CTA. This potentially includes thousands of trusts that own interests in entities formed in the United States and foreign entities registered to do business in the United States, including closely held businesses, limited liability companies (LLCs) and partnerships.

 

Jocelyn Borowsky is a fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, practices in the areas of estate planning, estate and trust administration and fiduciary litigation primarily in Delaware. A large part of her practice involves implementation of sophisticated trusts, trust modification and strategic estate, tax and business planning. She represents fiduciaries and beneficiaries in trust and estate litigation. She also handles tax controversy matters, including estate and gift tax audits by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities, and serves as an expert witness on Delaware trust law. 

 

 

 

Beth King is a Managing Director and President of Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Company of Delaware, N.A. In her role, Beth helps families with their wealth preservation and philanthropic goals, and oversees all aspects of trust administration for the trust company. Beth is a member of the Delaware Bar, is a former chair of the Estates & Trusts Section of the Delaware State Bar Association, and is a member of Delaware’s Trust Act Committee, which helps draft legislative changes to Delaware’s trust law.

Designing and Implementing Estate Planning Structures with the IRS in Mind: Audit Triggers and Considerations Associated Therewith

Alan S. Gassman, JD, LL.M. (Taxation), AEP® (Distinguished)

Estate Planners must be aware of opportunities and risks involved in designing and implementing estate and estate tax plans. Risks include scrutiny by the IRS, Audit representation cost, and possible taxes, interest, and penalties that can be imposed when there is a disagreement over tax reporting or treatment of a particular strategy or entity or situation.

This intermediate presentation will review primary planning strategies, entities, and arrangements with a view towards how the IRS may treat various situations from an audit and tax interest and penalty stand point. The viewer will receive practical and technical guidance along with explanations of strategies and communications that can be important with respect to this subject matter.

Alan S. Gassman is a board certified Trust and Estates lawyer. He is the founder of the Clearwater, Florida law firm called Gassman, Crotty and Denicolo, P.A., which is an 8 lawyer firm that focuses on the representation of high net worth families, physicians, and business owners and their companies in estate planning, taxation, and business and personal asset structuring.  Mr. Gassman is a frequent speaker for continuing education programs and has published well over 200 peer reviewed articles with publications such as Bloomberg BNA Tax & Accounting, Trusts and Estates Magazine, Estate Planning Magazine, The Florida Bar Journal, Forbes, and Leimberg Information Services Inc. (LISI). He is also a past President of the Pinellas County Estate Planning Council and has also co-chaired over 40 Florida Bar continuing legal education programs, including over 15 years each for Wealth Protection and Representing the Physician.
