| Message: | | in my case above...FIRST, let me say, I'm not a Tax Expert....I am strictly talking in general terms....do I know the "rule", yes....but its thru the estate planning attorney that this call is made on estate tax....okay that out of the way.
its not if they are avoiding the tax....they're just using assets to pay for the payment of the tax, and thereby passing the wealth - 40000 per year to the trust/family/kids..... you can also see it this way....
a family with less than $2,000,000 gross estate....need not worry about estate tax, thereby not needing to "spend" $40,000 per year....and $2,000,000 dollar estate, for the avg. joe is nothing to scoff at.
in 2009 it increases to $3,500,000......
