In light of the OBBBA signed into law on July 4, 2025, and the continuation of the increased Federal transfer tax exemptions, fewer taxpayers will be affected by the imposition of estate tax liability.  However, trusts are powerful tools in estate planning and the creation of a trust isn’t always motivated solely by achieving and leveraging tax benefits.  Rather, the use of trust structures remain a vital component to estate plans for several non-tax motivated reasons – they provide security, control, privacy, and the ability to plan for the long-term welfare of a taxpayer’s family, business, and philanthropic missions.  This presentation will explore in greater detail the non-tax benefits for the continued use of trusts.
