Legal News
Effective January 1, 2012, the federal estate tax exemption increased to $5,120,000 for estates subject to the estate tax. This represents the first time the federal estate tax exemption has been indexed for inflation. Despite the increase, the current estate tax exemption is scheduled to expire at the end of 2012 with the exemption decreasing to $1,000,000 at that time. All persons with estates having a total value in excess of $1,000,000 should keep a close eye on potential legislative changes to the estate tax prior to 2013.
