The Biden Administration recently released its fiscal 2024 revenue proposals which address many radical changes that would significantly impact high net worth individuals. While it is impossible to predict what will actually get passed, especially given that the House and the Senate are nearly equally divided between the parties, it is imperative that possible changes in the law continue to be closely monitored.
Clients participating in our Client Care Program (CCP) will be receiving a comprehensive explanation of these proposals, many of which will be effective upon enactment, and advice regarding actions to consider taking now. If you are a client and haven’t already, please join our Client Care Program to receive this important explanation and advice, as well as ongoing coverage of legislative developments as they emerge.
