Estate Tax PlanningEstate Tax and Inheritance Tax PlanningYou've signed your will or trust and made sure your family members will be taken care of when you die. But have you taken into account what percentage of your assets will be eaten up by inheritance taxes? Depending on your net worth at your death, your estate could be subject to both federal and Massachusetts estate taxes. Currently, the top federal estate tax rate is currently 46 percent. That's a big chunk of your hard earned savings. Discuss Your Estate Plans with Experienced Estate Tax Planning AttorneysThe first spouse to die can leave an unlimited amount of assets to a surviving spouse tax free. However, this often guarantees that the surviving spouse's estate will be subject to an estate tax upon his or her death. In addition, the estates of single people will always be subject to a tax if the estate is substantial. That said, it pays to discuss your estate plans with experienced estate tax planning attorneys who can help prevent losing so much of your estate to taxes.
