There’s been a lot of discussion in the press about estate taxes and potential changes the current administration is considering. As we all know, estate planning can be complicated. One of the tools in the estate planner’s toolbox is a trust designed to avoid estate taxes. However, many trusts are irrevocable meaning once you create it, you cannot change it. The word irrevocable is daunting and many times acts as a deterrent to making estate tax savings gifts.

A SLAT is an estate planning tool that provides potential tax reduction features but with a twist, if set up correctly. Even if the trust is irrevocable, the assets in the SLAT could be made available to a spouse while living.
