With a new presidential administration—and a shift in Congressional power—comes new and potential changes to individual income, gift, and estate tax laws on the horizon.

Earlier this year President Biden introduced several proposed changes in his “American Families Plan.” Additionally, House Democrats unveiled its proposed tax plan to fund the $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” reconciliation spending program. Components in each plan have the potential to significantly impact family wealth planning by the end of 2021 or sooner.

Join Finch, Thornton & Baird and our own Bruce Knowlton as they examine the potentially significant impacts of these proposed tax changes on business owners and high net worth individuals. We’ll also highlight some of the practical—and advanced—tax and estate planning techniques you can employ to preserve family wealth in light of this changing tax environment.
