2011 and 2012 have presented a unique environment for estate planning, with record high transfer tax exemptions and near record low values and rates. However, beginning in 2013, exemptions are scheduled to plummet while tax rates are scheduled to increase. This presentation will highlight planning opportunities for you and your clients for the remainder of 2012 – before its too late!

The program will feature two speakers from Dean Mead:
