Tax resolution attorney John Willis, CEO and founder of IRSALLSTAR.com writes about the latest gift and estate tax break available to married couples who don’t set up trusts before death, allowing $11 million in assets to be passed on to heirs free of estate tax.

Fairhope, AL, April 25, 2016: Tax Attorney John Willis, CEO and founder of IRSALLSTAR.com, recently posted a new blog on his website entitled “Married with Millions? Look Into The New IRS “Portability” Tax Break.”  Even couples without double digit millions can gain from John Willis’s latest blog.

Willis writes, “If you’re looking for a smarter, more efficient way to pass on wealth to heirs, the IRS has created it. According to The Wall Street Journal, “The Internal Revenue Service recently released final rules detailing a generous estate- and gift-tax break for married couples who don’t set up expensive trusts before death. This exemption, which is indexed for inflation, is $5.43 million per individual in 2015. This year, only a tiny fraction of estates—about 4,000—are expected to owe taxes, according the data from the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan group in Washington.” 

According to Willis, “Originally, trusts were set up to shelter assets being passed to heirs from taxes. However, today trusts are considered “clumsy and costly”, according to the Wall Street Journal article. And, besides, with a trust you have to be willing and able to plan ahead which, apparently many wealthy people are reluctant to do.”

Willis adds, “Even those without double digit millions are well advised to look into portability, simply because it’s possible that the estate could grow to double digits down the road as assets rise in value, particularly if a surviving spouse lives on for decades.”
