Avoid the tax cliff and protect your clients' wealth with advanced transfer tax strategies.

This practical program provides a roadmap to federal and New York estate tax planning, covering the basics of the federal system—including Forms 706/709, the marital deduction, QTIPs, and portability—while highlighting key New York differences like the estate tax "cliff," lack of portability, and 3-year gift addback.
The course will also explore real-world strategies to minimize tax exposure and preserve wealth, including lifetime gifting, disclaimer/A-B planning, GRATs, and grantor trust techniques such as SLATs, IDGTs, and ILITs.
