How does a living trust eliminate death taxes in many cases?

A living trust may allow a couple to effectively double the basic estate tax exemption ($13,610,000 in 2024 under present law, doubled to $27,220,000). This saves over $4,100,000 in death taxes.

If you have a typical will which leaves everything to your surviving spouse, your children may have to pay up to over that $4,100,000 in taxes that could have been avoided. We charge only an extra few hundred dollars to save such taxes in a trust for a couple – quite a good investment.

  Antonio is great. I work in a related industry, but my wife does not. He sat down with us and helped to get our estate in order by walking us through the trust process. My wife was very happy we took the time to protect our family and to get this crucial step in life accomplished. Thanks again!

  I have just completed my trust work with Mr. Staker and I could not. be happier.  I was referred to him by a prominent San Fernando  Vally commercial realtor so I had high hopes when I met with him and I was not disappointed.  Now I am insisting that my children go to him to make certain that their trusts are in order.  Joan Riley
