A few comments from listeners when they were asked what the learned from the webinar:

Timing of the budget bill, caution on reciprocal trusts, didn't know there is a proposal to make car loan interest deductible, and caution on tax shelters was good w/ the guidance to stick w/ statutory tax shelters only. Always a good reminder to consider the tax bracket for a surviving spouse when helping families.

Didn’t realize repeal of estate tax was currently
- Heath J.

Good ideas around SLAT planning and reciprocal trust doctrine.
- Chase D.
