✨ What is Portability? ✨
Portability allows a surviving spouse to inherit any unused federal estate tax exemption from their deceased spouse. This helps protect transferred assets from estate and gift taxes when the surviving spouse later transfers them. By electing portability, couples can double their estate tax exemptions, but it must be elected through a timely filed IRS Form 706. Without taking the step to elect portability, valuable exemptions are lost! 🙅

Portability offers flexibility but does not negate the need for comprehensive estate planning. Want to learn more about tax strategies to reduce estate taxes? Click the link below to book an initial consultation and let's dive in. 🌐 💻 📆

Should the worst-case scenario actually happen, it will also ease the mental burden on loved ones who don't have to second-guess whether they are doing the right thing for you or how you would want your estate distributed.

Oftentimes, we hear from clients that just having their estate plan in place feels like a mental burden lifted after executing their documents. 😌

Whatever way you decide feels right, do something today to take care of your mental health. You deserve it.
