Imagine this:
You’ve built generational wealth through years of disciplined investing, entrepreneurship, and strategic decisions. Whether it’s real estate, business equity, or a well-balanced portfolio, your estate represents more than money—it’s your legacy.
But there’s a rising risk most advisors won’t bring up unless you ask.
The Looming Estate Tax Shakeup
Under current law, the federal estate tax exemption sits at over $13 million per individual, but it’s scheduled to drop to around $7 million in 2026 unless Congress passes new legislation.
While proposals exist to extend or increase the exemption, the outcome is far from certain. That’s why proactive estate planning—including smart tax strategies—is highly advisable to take advantage of the current favorable environment and prepare for potential changes.
What does that mean for you?
If your total assets (real estate, business interests, investment portfolios, etc.) are already above these thresholds, or are expected to grow into that range in the coming years, your heirs could face a multi-million-dollar tax bill—and many families with $10M, $20M, $30M or more are unknowingly exposed.
For example, a $30M estate could trigger over $8 million in estate tax.
That’s not just unfair—it’s a financial blindside.
And most CPAs or attorneys won’t mention it unless you bring it up.
The Hidden Cost of Delay
Let’s break it down:
You pass away with $30 million in assets
Estate tax kicks in at anything above ~$7M per person
Your family could lose 35–40% of what you meant to pass down
This isn't just about taxes. It's about watching decades of effort eroded overnight.
But Here’s the Smart Shift
There’s a strategy that quietly restructures a small portion of your estate into a tax-free, risk-controlled vehicle that does three things:
✅ Offsets future estate tax exposure
✅ Multiplies your legacy—potentially turning hundreds of thousands into millions
✅ Works even if the market drops or tax laws change
We’ve helped families reposition as little as $500,000 today to neutralize $8 million in potential estate tax—all using legally compliant, IRS-blessed structures that offer clarity, liquidity, and peace of mind to their heirs.
This isn’t about chasing returns.
It’s about defending the legacy you’ve worked so hard to build.
Legacy Is a Choice—Not a Coincidence
Legacy planning doesn’t begin when someone passes away.
It begins before the rules change.
This approach works best when implemented early—while you still have full control and full access to the current planning tools available. We don’t sell products. We design advanced strategies to protect multi-generational wealth and keep more in the family.
Because this isn’t just financial planning—it’s wealth defense.
