TAX Estates & Trusts

The second final project for this course is the creation of a PowerPoint presentation. Everyday economic events can have significant estate and gift tax consequences. Being able to spot estate and gift tax issues and communicate effectively with clients is essential for any high-level financial professional working in a privately held enterprise or advising high-net-worth individuals. Professional accountant working in a bank, consulting firm, or financial services firm are often responsible for advising clients on tax implications of their financial investment decisions, including estate and gift taxation as it is currently applied in the United States and around the world. In this project, you will model the role of an associate in a boutique tax consulting firm that specializes in the real estate industry. You will demonstrate your ability to advise clients on estate and gift taxation, life insurance, annuity, and charitable giving strategies, and make ethically sound and socially responsible decisions by creating a PowerPoint presentation for your client.
