Join Jonathan I. Shenkman, President & CIO of ParkBridge Wealth Management, as he goes “IN FOCUS” to explore more advanced wealth planning topics.

Today, we are joined by Martin M. Shenkman, Founder, Shenkman Teitz based in New York. Marty will be discussing “Asset Protection in 2026: SLATs, DAPTs, SPATs and more Acronyms.”

By way of background, with a $15M exemption few taxpayers will be subject to an estate tax, but asset protection concerns remain a critical planning goal. A recent favorable DE case upholding a self settled trust, and a follow up CO case that overturned a later transaction to that trust, provide valuable lessons as to how clients can protect assets, what steps to take, and which to avoid. How do domestic asset protection trusts (“DAPTs”) compare to other irrevocable trust techniques such as spousal lifetime access trusts (“SLATs”), and special power of appointment trusts (“SPATs”) and which may make sense in which situations? Further, in light of the current high exemption might an incomplete gift variant of one of these trusts be advisable.

***UPCOMING LIVE WINTER WEBINAR: My next webinar continues on Thursday, January 29th featuring Elizabeth Forspan of Forspan Klear based in Great Neck, NY who will be speaking on “Overcoming Estate and Elder Care Planning Hurdles.” The program will also offer CLE & CPE credit.
