22 Estate Planning Strategy: Your Will A will is the most fundamental part of your estate plan.
23 Estate Planning Strategy: Your Will A will provides the foundation for an estate plan and provides for other wealth transfer strategies such as: Creating trusts to manage assets Selecting a guardian for minor children Authorizing business continuation plans
24 Estate Planning Strategy: Your Will Why both spouses should have a will: Allows for specific personal bequests Allows for separate charitable interests Joint wills between spouses can potentially lead to unexpected legal problems

26 Estate Planning Strategy: Buy-Sell Types of buy-sell arrangements: Cross Purchase Entity Purchase

32 Estate Planning Strategy: Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust IRS Rules for establishing an ILIT: Insured can have no incidents of ownership 3 Year Rule
33 Estate Planning Strategy: Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust Gift tax to consider: Gift taxes apply Trustee must apply for policy directly to avoid tax problems
34 Estate Planning Strategy: Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust Role of the Trustee: May pay estate-related cost from trust May make loans May purchase estate assets
35 Estate Planning Strategy: Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust Summary: Taxpayers can remove substantial assets from their gross estate Insurance proceeds can be a source of income for the surviving family, while providing funds to pay estate taxes for the estate Other Considerations: Cash Flow Loss of control Administrative costs

43 Estate Planning Strategy: QTIP A QTIP potentially takes advantage of the unlimited marital deduction and still lets the grantor control the disposition of certain assets at the second spouse s death.
44 Estate Planning Strategy: QTIP Example: Balance of Barbara s estate in excess of $5,250,000* Lifetime Income QTIP Remainder Amount Eric Children or Grandchildren * This amount represents the applicable exclusion amount (the amount that may be passed to heirs estate tax-free in 2012).
