Join us for a fascinating conversation with attorney and tax expert Marty Shenkman about the practical lessons estate planning and other financial professionals can learn from the Levine case – a precedent-setting tax court decision. Although the Levine case involved intergenerational split dollar, lessons learned from the case are helpful in other planning contexts. In this episode, we explore: * Keys to the taxpayer’s victory in successfully structuring the intergenerational split dollar arrangement * The importance of using “excess capital” for legacy-planning strategies, and the financial planner’s role in determining and documenting available excess capita * Why clients should be diligent in selecting qualified, competent legal counsel as part of a collaborative planning team For financial professional use only.
