H.R. 1, commonly referred to as OBBBA, made sweeping changes to tax law. The indirect planning implications are significant for both income and estate planning. This webinar assumes attendees are already familiar with the basic H.R. 1 changes and builds on that foundation with a discussion of how and when to use non-grantor trusts in post-H.R. 1 planning, especially in charitable strategies. With the high exemption now permanent, estate planning will shift from minimizing estate taxes to using trusts to reduce income taxes. Non-grantor trusts will play a central role in that shift.

This webcast will focus on appropriate planning under H.R. 1, commonly known as OBBBA, for moderately wealthy and high-net-worth clients. We'll cover planning for spouses and business owners, including recent key cases, as well as life insurance strategies. The session will also address the shift from traditional estate tax planning to estate, trust, and gift techniques that focus on income tax basis planning, which is now relevant for a broader range of clients.
