    Communicating to Clients About Planning Uncertainty

    WealthManagement.com
    Jan 27, 2017

    Martin M. Shenkman, Andrew T. Wolfe, Alan A. Davidson 

    From a federal estate tax perspective, there hasn’t been much tax uncertainty since
    2012. There’s also never been a greater likelihood for a complete repeal of the federal
    estate tax and perhaps, the enactment, in its place, of a capital gains tax on death.
    This article, the last in a series of four articles, provides a sample client letter that
    can be modified by practitioners to communicate the results of reviewing a client’s
    will or revocable trust. This article also provides a generic client memorandum that
    can be tailored to the particular practice and state law; and used to inform clients of
    the changes brewing including actions they may need to take. In addressing state law
    considerations, both the sample letter and sample memorandum illustrate New
    Jersey law. Practitioners in other jurisdictions should tailor these documents to
    reflect their own states’ laws.
