Disinherit the IRS

Disinherit the IRS is a well-written, easy-to-read and comprehensive estate planning and wealth protection guide that was originally published in 2001. It evolved in response to requests from fellow Americans who feared the fruits of their life's work was under assault by a growing litigious society and tax hungry government. This updated 2014 edition will help you understand current estate tax laws and how they impact the most popular estate planning tools, including trusts and life insurance. You will also gain insight into lawful wealth protection strategies used by real families as well as vital information on how to leave your assets to heirs and favorite causes and not the IRS. Family wealth protection expert and author of Disinherit the IRS, E. Michael Kilbourn recruited estate planning attorney Brad A. Galbraith for the 2014 edition as an extra guarantee that every chapter reflects the most sound advice based on today's laws. In this book, you will discover how to: remove assets from your taxable estate without losing control of them or the income they generate, make a profit by donating to charity, effectively exempt your entire estate from state taxes, avoid capital gains taxes on the sale of your appreciated property and eliminate state taxes on your assets at your death. In essence, you will learn how to leave what you have to whom you want, when you want and in the way you want while minimizing possible court costs, attorney fees and estate taxes.
