Over the years we have assisted our clients in the preparation and review of their personal and business wills from an income tax planning perspective.
There are many income tax “traps” to be wary of if you have rental, business or investment assets that will cause your estate needless income taxes and your executor’s additional professional fees in addressing the transfer of your assets in accordance with the instructions left in your will.
