In the current environment of uncertainty, many married clients should consider implementing non-reciprocal spousal lifetime access trusts (SLATs). This strategy can provide a flexible framework for a wide range of clients. The technique can be adapted for more modest estates needing life insurance trusts, or to ultra high net worth clients requiring more aggressive tax oriented estate planning. Regardless of what happens to the transfer tax system, some variant of this planning is likely to benefit the client.
