Harrison LLP Associate Natasha McFarland and Partner Sarah Moore Johnson will be participating in The Maryland State Bar Association’s Estate & Trust Law Section’s Advanced Estate Planning Institute on April 29. This annual event allows professionals to refine their skills, learn new strategies, and stay informed on updates in the field.
They will be sharing their insights in a section titled “The Voldemort of Transfer Taxes: Paying the GST Tax and Planning for GST Non-Exempt Trusts.” This section will dive into taking the fear out of facing the GST tax – breaking down who pays it, how it’s paid, what deductions soften the blow, and why the estate tax isn’t always the lesser evil.
