With the new year upon us, it’s never to early (or late as the case may be) to plan for your future and your family’s future. A very important piece of the planning is your family’s estate planning. New Jersey estate planning lawyer Michael Manna has a great post on planning for the future on his blog, which you can read here: It’s Never Too Early to Start Planning for the Future.

Do Estate Taxes Even Matter?January 11, 2011Filed under: Federal Estate Tax — Christopher J. Berry @ 9:52 pm With all this Federal Estate Tax discussion the past few weeks, there was an interesting article in the NY Times asking if the Federal Estate Taxes even mattered? You can read the article at Do Estate Taxes Matter? Michigan Veterans Aid and Attendance PensionFiled under: Elder Law,Veterans Benefits — Christopher J. Berry @ 1:36 pm For many Michigan Veterans and their families, the Veterans Benefit known as Aid & Attendance is a confusing program to navigate with unpublished rules and limits to qualification. However, if you can properly navigate the VA Pension program there can be a huge benefit for the Michigan Veteran and his or her family. For this reason we created the Michigan Elder Law Center, which has a wealth of information for Michigan Veterans as well as a VA Longterm Care Booklet for veterans. TRUIRJCA, TRA, and DSUEA | Estate Planning Alphabet SoupFiled under: Federal Estate Tax — Christopher J. Berry @ 1:25 pm
Now we have TRUIRJCA, TRA, and DSUEA. TRUIRJCA stands for the Tax Relief Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act. This is the official name of the temporary Federal Estate Tax law that for two years extends and modifies the Bush era tax cuts. The next key acronym is TRA, which some are using as an abbreviation for TRUIRJCA. TRA stands for Tax Relief Act. Julie Garber who wrote a blog post TRUIRJCA, TRA, and DSUEA-New Estate Planning Acronyms You Need to Know Now, much prefers TRA over TRUIRJCA. The last key acronym is DSUEA, which stands for Deceased Spouse’s Unused Exemption Amount. This acronym refers to the new portability concept included in the new rules.
