Ken Hughes and Associates can assist you and work directly with your attorney regarding Estate Planning. This is an area a lot of people don't want to discuss, but with estate tax brackets as high as 55% the need for planning is essential. A plan can be developed to reduce your taxable estate and meet your specific family and individual needs. Shifting of assets can be accomplished by a systematic gifting program, and the use of the family limited partnership has emerged as one of the biggest savings tools to be used for estate tax planning purposes. We can help with the Internal Revenue Service reporting required by each indivudual estate plan.
