Thursday, November 10 | 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Program Chair:

Glenn G. Fox
Baker & McKenzie LLP

  • This program will cover in depth the recent significant Federal and New York tax law changes affecting estate planning and trusts, including the proposed regulations under Section 2704 of the Internal Revenue Code that would drastically curtail the ability to claim valuation discounts in family-controlled entities Federal basis consistency rules, basis step-up vs. credit shelter planning, donating to charity to avoid the New York estate tax cliff, and allocation of estate administration expenses.  The program will include a panel discussion addressing how practitioners are advising their clients in the aftermath of these changes.
