In light of the Biden election and the continued uncertainty of what tax laws will prevail in 2021, this program will address a wide range of planning concerns to address and act on in the remaining days of 2020. The focus of Steve's webinar will be on what can and should be considered and accomplished before 2020 ends. In this content-packed webinar, Steve will focus on the following themes:

I. For high net worth clients, what can be done to protect against the possible reduction of transfer tax exclusions in 2021? Recommended December actions.

II. For high income clients, what can be done to protect against the possibility of higher income and capital gains tax rates and reduced rates for deductions in 2021? Recommended December actions.
