Money Bag Estate Tax Biden | Dallas Tax Planning Lawyer

Death and Taxes are never pleasant to have to think about, especially during this time of uncertainty.

We have all been impacted by the pandemic in some way. Personally, I have had family members and friends directly impacted by COVID.

There was much reflection in 2020, which has now continued to 2021.  To quote Benjamin Franklin in 1789, “The Only Two Certainties in Life are Death and Taxes.” We now see a third certainty of which I concur: Estate Planning.

With all the inconsistent information we are receiving regarding COVID-19, there is not always a rhyme or reason to those individuals who have lost their life to this virus. For some folks I have spoken with about their personal experiences with COVID-19, they have stated death has become uncertain. And now that the Election is behind us, we are unclear as to what will be happening with Estate Taxes and Estate Planning.

Taxes and Estate Planning

During his campaign, Mr. Biden discussed proposals regarding taxes, estate tax exemption, gift tax exemption, etc. Below is a chart reflecting some of the now President Biden’s proposals that will have a direct impact on estate planning.
