1 The Power of Gifting Presented by: Presenter Name Company Name Date

2 The Power of Gifting Many affluent clients express a desire to provide for their loved ones after they are gone. By establishing a lifetime giving program, a donor can have greater privacy while making gifts, and ensure that the gifts are not subject to the probate process a process that can delay the transfer of assets to heirs at the donor s death. It is also possible to leverage lifetime gifts with life insurance on the donor s life to increase the amount of the gift. If estate taxes are a concern, an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) can remove the life insurance from the donor s estate. 1

3 Tax Benefits of Lifetime Giving Annual Exclusion Gifts. The gift tax annual exclusion is the maximum amount which a taxpayer can gift each year to any beneficiary without being required to use his or her lifetime exemption amount from gift tax. If gifts are limited each year to this annual exclusion amount, the person making the gift is not required to file a gift tax return, and no gift taxes will be due. The amount of the annual exclusion in 2015 is $14,000. The gift tax annual exclusion amount may be adjusted annually based on cost-ofliving increases in the Consumer Price Index. Lifetime Gift Exemption. In addition to the annual exclusion, each person can also gift their lifetime exemption. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 enacted a permanent set of estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax provisions with the lifetime exemption set at $5.43M for 2015 (indexed annually for inflation). 2

4 Gifting and Life Insurance Gifting and life insurance are a particularly powerful combination. If life insurance is owned by an ILIT, the trust will generally receive the policy death benefit free of estate and income tax. You can make annual exclusion gifts to an ILIT, up to the number of trust beneficiaries who are given Crummey rights of withdrawal. If the trustee uses the gift dollars to purchase life insurance, the death benefit to the heirs often can be substantially leveraged as compared to the value of the original gift. 3
