The “Seven-Year Rule” in Inheritance tax refers to how gifts you give are taxed based on the time between giving the gift and your passing. If you live for at least 7 years after giving a gift (unless it’s part of a trust), there’s no inheritance tax to pay on it. However, if you pass away within those 7 years, the tax situation changes ⚖️ This is why thorough estate planning is essential—to ensure that beneficiaries are informed about any Inheritance tax they may need to pay. #EstatePlanning #InheritanceTax #SevenYearRule

Estate and inheritance taxes can significantly impact the wealth you pass on to your loved ones. Estate tax is levied on the total value of your assets at death, while inheritance tax is imposed on beneficiaries receiving their share. Each state has different rules, and the federal government imposes its own estate tax if your estate exceeds a certain threshold. Without proper planning, your heirs could face a substantial tax bill, potentially reducing the value of what you intended to leave behind. Understanding how these taxes work and consulting with an experienced estate planning attorney can help ensure your hard-earned assets are preserved for future generations.

Most people want to avoid paying inheritance tax completely. The thought of your loved ones paying a further 40% tax is scary. Secure your family’s future. #EstatePlanning #WealthPreservation
