GREENWICH, CONN. DECEMBER 6, 2021

Every year the rating firm Super Lawyers rates attorneys throughout the United States using a comprehensive, patented evaluation process, which spotlights lawyers who meet important ethical standards, have attained outstanding peer recognition, and have demonstrated outstanding achievement in their fields.

Super Lawyers utilizes a complex multi-step selection process to determine its ratings. After being nominated by their peers, attorneys are subject to a rigorous independent review process, which ranks nominees based on numerous categories including their honors and awards, pro bono and community service, and verdicts and settlements. Only five percent of attorneys in the state are named as Super Lawyers, and only 2.5 percent of attorneys can be designated as Rising Stars.

Proposed Tax Changes

Congress Proposed Tax Changes

Greenwich Commercial Litigation Lawyer

As you may be aware, Congress recently drafted proposed legislation that, if enacted, would have a significant impact on estate planning. On Monday, September 13, 2021, the House Ways & Means Committee released a proposed tax plan to fund President Biden’s “Build Back Better” social and economic spending package. It is important to note that these are only proposals and Congress is still in the early stages of the legislative process. We expect the final version of the package to include changes, possibly significant, from the current proposal.

While the full picture remains uncertain, some of these proposals would take effect on the date of enactment, others would take effect January 1, 2022 and some could be retroactive to January 1, 2021. It is also possible that a portion of the legislation would be retroactive to September 13, 2021, the date the draft legislation was introduced. Below is a summary of the proposed changes that we believe are most relevant to our estate planning clients.

Reductions of the Estate, Gift and GST Tax Exemptions

In 2017, the exemption applicable to the estate, gift and generation skipping transfer (GST) tax increased from $5 million, indexed for inflation, to $10 million, indexed for inflation ($11.7 million per person for 2021). While the increased exemption amount is slated to sunset after December 31, 2025, the current proposal would revert the lifetime exemption amount back to $5 million, indexed for inflation, beginning on January 1, 2022 (approximately $6,000,000 per person).

These proposed changes provide a limited window for individuals to make full use of their $11,700,000 exemption.

Attorney Stephen G. Walko wins in Supreme Court case

February 2017 - Attorney Stephen G. Walko wins in Supreme Court case involving a dispute between trust beneficiaries and will beneficiaries as to the rightful owner of real property that was owned by an individual as trustee but later devised in the individual's will (CT SC 19668).

In Zara Lackman Et Al. v. Samantha Hunt McAnulty Et Al., Hugh Hunt created a trust for the benefit of his children; he served as the trustee. He conveyed certain real property to himself, as Trustee; however, the trust documents were never recorded on the land records. Subsequent to conveying the property to himself as trustee, Mr. Hunt executed a will leaving the same property to his grandchildren. Upon his death, the Executor of the Estate of Hugh Hunt omitted the real property from the probate estate under the theory that because it was owned by "Hugh Hunt as Trustee", the property passed to the beneficiaries of the trust. The beneficiaries of the will brought suit to challenge this action, claiming that the property passed to them under the will based on decedent's failure to record the trust documents on the land records.
