BALTIMORE ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL

About the Program
Because a lifetime sale of encumbered real estate can result in reporting taxable gain greater than the after-tax cash from the sale, there is a reluctance to sell while the owner is living. Instead, the owner will wait until encumbered real estate can pass at death. By including the real estate interest as an asset in decedent’s gross estate, the entire built-in gain, including the phantom gain, can be eliminated but an estate freeze is not available.
For those who can wait until death, this webinar will describe how the preferred partnership can eliminate the entire built-in gain, including the phantom gain, and still implement an estate tax freeze.
If a lifetime sale is contemplated, we will examine how to defer reporting the built-in gain, including the phantom gain. Although reporting the gain cannot be eliminated, the ability to postpone the reporting of the gain results in significant income tax benefits. The second part will describe techniques that can be use for income tax deferral.
