Act Now! There’s Still Time to Avoid the New IRS Regulations That Might Raise Taxes on Your Family’s Inheritance

Act Now! There’s Still Time to Avoid the New IRS Regulations That Might Raise Taxes on Your Family’s Inheritance

 

The IRS recently released proposed regulations which effectively end valuation discounts that have been relied upon for over 20 years. If the IRS’s current timetable holds, these regulations may become final as early as January 1, 2017. Although that date isn’t set in stone, I expect that the regulations will be final around that time or shortly thereafter.

 

With New Regulations Looming, What Should You Do Now?

 

As I mentioned before, the timetable isn’t set in stone. Luckily, there’s still a narrow window of time to implement “freezing” techniques under current, more favorable law, to save taxes and protect your family’s inheritance.

 

Depending on your circumstances, some options are going to be a better fit than others, and I want to make sure you get the best outcome possible. Some of these “freezing” techniques involve the use of a family business entity to own and operate your family fortune, in combination with one or more special tax-saving trusts. These plans provide numerous benefits including asset protection, divorce protection, centralized management of assets, and more – in addition to the tax savings.

 

Unfortunately, these types of plans can take 2-3 months to fully implement and time is running short.

What to do next?  Let’s have coffee and do a free consult on whether this step will help you.

LOOK AT THINGS AS THEY CAN BE

LOOK AT THINGS AS THEY CAN BE

Your range of available choices right now has no limits.

The only limits you have are in your mind.

You’ve got it in you to succeed. Just make up your mind and stick with it.

You weren’t born with any limits on your powers or any set limits to your capacity.

At any moment, you have more possibilities than you can act upon.

Imagine your possibilities and your vision expands.

Capture your dreams in your mind and your life becomes full.

Reach out and touch the limits of your being in your mind.

If you think you can, you can.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO A WILLING HEART

You can do anything in this world you want to do, but you must want to do it badly enough.

You really can have everything you want, if you go after it. You have to want it.

The first ingredient of success is desire. Do you know what you want? Your desire is the planting of your seed.

Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it’s the very breath of your life.

It must be your first thought when you wake in the morning, and your last thought when you go to bed at night.

You can be whatever you make up your mind to be. What’s in your mind is all that counts.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.

Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances.

Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.

It’s how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude.

THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS

THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS

The truly successful person doesn’t use others, other people use them.

If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.

Service to others is the essence of success.
No one achieves success without being of service.

All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.

ALL GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TAKES TIME

ALL GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TAKES TIME

“Keep trying” is the rule that must be followed to be successful at anything.

Your success will always be connected with your actions. Just keep moving towards your goal.

You’ll make mistakes but don’t ever quit. You may even have to hang on after others have let go.

Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal. In the end, the only people who fail are those that do not try.

Your future is a big adventure. Just remember, all great achievement takes time.

YOU CAN BE A WINNER IF YOU PLAN AHEAD

YOU CAN BE A WINNER IF YOU PLAN AHEAD

You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time

You can do things before they need to be done. You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.

Think ahead of any approaching action. Make a plan and you will always have the advantage.

Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning. The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS

People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful. Each defeat is merely an installment to victory.

You’ll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying. You won’t be judged by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.

Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.

You can’t be a winner and be afraid to lose.

YOUR SUCCESS IS A MATTER OF EXPECTATION

YOUR SUCCESS IS A MATTER OF EXPECTATION

You must first expect to succeed if you want to succeed. When you expect good things to happen, strangely enough, they will happen.

Expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum.

Your life will always respond to your outlook, so set your goals high.

The dreams you choose to believe in will come to be.

You can’t expect to succeed beyond your wildest expectations unless you begin with some pretty wild expectations.

IT’S NEVER OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER

IT’S NEVER OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER

The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure, this is the quality of a winner. Your greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail.

It’s your constant and determined effort that will eventually break down all resistance and sweep away all the barriers before you.

Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal.

All great achievements require time. Endurance is the crowning quality of success.
