Awaiting a Decision on the Fiscal Cliff, and How It May Affect You!

December 17, 2012 by Morris Hall, PLLC 2 Comments

It seems that everything we hear on the news today is regarding the impending fiscal cliff and the great difficulty this may bring upon our country.  As both political sides meet together to determine what should be done, we hope they are able to reach a compromise and make a decision for the greatest benefit of our nation.

As an estate planning attorney, I have heard my clients concern over how these changes may impact them, their loved ones and their assets.  I work with clients that are good, hard working and patriotic Americans that already pay more in taxes than they would like and are concerned about facing an even greater burden. Many of us likely share the same concern. In most situations, the greatest burdens will be felt, no matter the outcome of the fiscal cliff, by the beneficiaries of those who fail to plan

Can you imagine working all of your life, paying income, capital gains, sales, and excise taxes  every year of your life, only to lose over half of what you have left to estate taxes upon your death?  If you don’t plan properly, your number one beneficiary could be Uncle Sam, rather than your children or other beneficiaries of your choice.

It is critical now, more than ever before, to have a well drafted estate plan.  If you have one that was created some years ago, it needs to be reviewed.  You need to understand what taxes you and your family may be exposed to.  Along with the estate tax there are also additional income taxes, gift taxes, capital gains taxes,  generation skipping taxes and potentially other taxes that you and your beneficiaries could face.

Please, take the time to protect your spouse and your loved ones by creating an MH Estate Plan.  Spending some time and money now can save your estate and your beneficiaries far more in the future.

To schedule a free consultation and discover how an MH Estate Plan can protect your assets, call us today at 888.222.1328.
