The current temporarily high $12.92 million estate and gift tax exemption will “Sunset” on December 31, 2025. Starting January 1, 2026, the exemption is expected to return to approximately $7 million. The loss of approximately $6 million in exemption can result in an additional estate tax in excess of $2.4 million if proper planning is not implemented prior to December 31, 2025.

Nicholas provides an overview of the U.S. estate tax, and addresses estate planning techniques that details the scheduled reduction in gift and estate tax exemptions at the end of 2025.
