thus, allowing the transferor to further discount the value of the

property gifted by utilizing a discount for lack of marketability and

a minority interest discount. is discount will further reduce the

amount of the gift tax exemption utilized by the gift.

Finally, as if the above were not su ciently convincing that a

taxes, the current low interest rate environment makes it an op-

portune time to utilize estate planning tools such as a Grantor

to be considered before one gifts assets. Perhaps most important APARPR

being whether one is comfortable making the gift and whether the PUBLICITY WITH PERSONALITY

gift should be made outright or to a trust. However, in the current

environment with the potential likelihood of both federal and state

estate tax exemption being reduced, taking steps to reduce one’s

taxable estate is imperative.
