In this episode, attorneys Christina Knopke and Annie Rogers focus on a spouse’s ability to file an estate tax return when the first spouse passes away in order to elect portability with Matt Mentzer, a fellow attorney at Creative Planning. This is one way for a couple to make sure they are using both of their estate tax exemptions, which will become increasingly important if the estate tax exemption amount is reduced in the future.
