Leaving a legacy may be one of the most important things you do in life. You may have reached the point where you have accumulated as much wealth as you can reasonably expect to spend. After all, you can only take so many vacations to Hawaii, or buy so many homes. What next?
You'd probably like to build a nice cushion in case times grow hard, provide for your family, and maybe support a charity of your choosing.
All of these are worthy goals. But in this competitive, litigious, and tax heavy world, your estate is under attack! Are you prepared?
Some of the smartest and wealthiest people in America have seen their net worth reduced by as much as 70% after federal and state estate taxes!
Walt Disney paid nearly $7 million in estate taxes, about 30% of his net worth. John D. Rockefeller's heirs received an estate which had been reduced 68% by taxes. Elvis Presley died with over $10 million in net worth, yet his heirs ended up with less than $3 million- a 73% loss!
Does that sound good to you?
