Policy changes and a shifting economic climate can, and often do, have far-reaching effects on estate planning and related considerations. Economic downturns and changes to tax laws can significantly influence the value of assets, the structure of wealth transfers, and the strategies individuals and families employ to preserve their legacies.Tannenbaum Helpern's Trusts and Estates practice closely monitors how recent economic and political developments affect their diverse client base and trusts and estates law more broadly.

Practice Co-Chairs and partners Yolanda Kanes and Jordan S. Linn and associate Jordana E. Balsam recently co-authored Unpacking the One Big Beautiful Bill: What Changes Are Required to Optimize Your Estate Plan?, which examines how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) reshapes estate planning via changes to current federal and gift tax exemptions. The article discusses opportunities created by these changes, along with updates to State and Local Tax (SALT) and charitable deductions and 529 Plans. Jordan S. Linn and associate Nicholas N. Khayumov also recently co-authored Estate Planning and Estate Administrations During Economic Downturns which reflects on crucial considerations related to estate valuation during a down market as well as the opportunities presented by embarking on estate planning when asset values and interest rates are low.
