Editorial correction (August 2026): This episode was produced before the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21, signed July 4, 2025) was reflected in our source material. The 2026 estate tax “sunset” described in the audio did not happen — it was repealed. The federal estate and gift tax exemption is now permanent at $15 million per person ($30 million per married couple), indexed for inflation. There is no scheduled reversion to $7 million and no deadline to act. Please disregard the urgency framing in the recording; the written summary below has been corrected.
This episode discusses transferring wealth under the federal estate tax exemption. Note the correction above: the reversion described in the audio — married couples dropping from roughly $27.98 million to about half — did not occur. OBBBA repealed the sunset and set the exemption permanently at $15 million per person.
The gifting techniques and trust structures covered remain legitimate financial planning tools; there is simply no closing window forcing a decision.

I thought this was permanently extended in the OBBBA?
