Episode Synopsis

Join us for a fascinating conversation with attorney and tax expert Marty Shenkman about the practical lessons estate planning and other financial professionals can learn from the Levine case – a precedent-setting tax court decision. Although the Levine case involved intergenerational split dollar, lessons learned from the case are helpful in other planning contexts.

In this episode, we explore:

* Keys to the taxpayer’s victory in successfully structuring the intergenerational split dollar arrangement

* The importance of using “excess capital” for legacy-planning strategies, and the financial planner’s role in determining and documenting available excess capita

* Why clients should be diligent in selecting qualified, competent legal counsel as part of a collaborative planning team
