The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

For those of us in the US, I'm curious what others with large estates are planning.

I have Trusts for all my children and grandchildren. Large IRA and more going 100% to my named charities.

'We're looking at a golden opportunity to make tax-free transfers,' said Shamisa Zvoma, a certified public accountant with Wiss in Florham Park, N.J.

The $10 million figure in the Trump tax cuts of 2017 was indexed for inflation. For 2023, the combined gift- and estate-tax exemption is $12.92 million per individual, or $25.84 million per married couple. That is the amount you can give away during your life or at death tax-free.

Next year the exemption amount will likely be adjusted to $13.61 million, estimates Peter Tucci, an estate lawyer at Proskauer. For 2025, it could be $14 million per person, before dropping by half in 2026 to about $7 million."
