WKPZ Shareholder Paul Strug recently gave a series of presentation focusing on  Estate Planning opportunities in the current economy.  An example of such an opportunity is an Estate Freeze technique, which can allow a client to take advantage of stocks and other assets that have lost 30-50% of their value, and transfer those assets into a trust for children. This results in the appreciation growing outside of the client's estate, while at the same time minimizing the taxable gift to the children.  When coupled with historically low Federal interest rates, the Estate Freeze technique can be very powerful.
