Advantage to Splitting estate Between wife & husband? |
|
|
Is there an advantage to splitting ownership in an estate between husband
and wife while both are still living? I know you can split $2 million and
save on estate taxes if both die at the same time, but is there an advantage
if one dies and the other gets the whole estate anyway?

You can save on estate taxes for the same reasons that the couple dying
together gain. Expect that the final estate tax exemption will come in at
1.5 million, congress has to do something prior to 2010. splitting the
estate will keep you out the federal tax and given what state you live in
save there as well. |

If you live in a community property state, such as Louisiana, the split
is automatically done for you.
