Avoiding Death Taxes: You Can't Take It With You, But You Need Not Pay the Government To Die - Tapa blanda

There is a great tug-of-war between you, as the taxpayer, and the federal and state governments over the division of your wealth upon your death. This tug-of-war can be a high-stakes game -- the combination of income taxes and death taxes can claim about 75% of your accumulated earnings that exceed the available lifetime exemptions. This book, Avoiding Death Taxes, will provide you with a multitude of strategies to significantly reduce these taxes and their impact on your spouse and family. The authors are four attorneys who together have more than 120 years of experience in assisting taxpayers. In Avoiding Death Taxes, they present in layman’s terms a host of practical suggestions and proven techniques that will assist you to pass your accumulated wealth to your heirs instead of the federal and state governments. You may not be able to change the confiscatory prevailing rates of taxation, but the laws have left you with various routes that you can follow to avoid death taxes and preserve your family’s wealth.
