OBBBA Part 5: Basis, NonGrantor Trusts and More: 2 Hour Deep Dive on Post-OBBBA Planning
The OBBBA has reshaped trust and tax planning, raising new questions and opportunities for practitioners. This two-hour program will examine whether life insurance in trusts should be surrendered or repurposed, how basis planning is affected, and when (if ever) to unwind trusts for a step-up in basis. We’ll address incomplete vs. complete gifts, Kiddie Tax concerns, and state law opportunities such as Community Property Trusts and JESTs. The session also explores income shifting with non-grantor trusts, DNI and 643(f) challenges, charitable deduction strategies post-OBBBA, and key considerations when converting grantor to non-grantor trusts. Attendees will leave with practical, actionable insights for navigating post-OBBBA planning with confidence.
