New post: Strategic Tax and Estate Planning: Business, Charity, & Navigating Tax Changes - With the tax filing deadline looming, it’s a pivotal time to ensure estate and tax planning are in harmony. Today, we'll review Proposition 19, changes in federal estate taxes, and intricacies of business ownership interests, and charitable giving within estate planning. PROPOSITION 19 AND ESTATE PLANNING IN CALIFORNIA California's Proposition 19 has significantly impacted property tax rules, affecting estate planning, particularly for real estate assets. Notably, it revised the parent-child exclusion, limiting the conditions under which property taxes are reassessed upon transfer.
