GIFT & ESTATE STRATEGY

December 24, 2025 Cabrillo Advisors In The News

For gifts or sales of interests in Operating Businesses, Holding Companies, Real Estate, Carried Interests, Derivatives, or Debt, Cabrillo Advisors provides independent, IRS‑ready qualified valuations and appraisals to help optimize your estate tax planning and charitable strategies.

Why Act Now?

Effective January 1, 2026, the federal estate and gift tax exclusion increases to $15 million per individual (or $30 million per married couple), with future adjustments for inflation. While this increased exclusion was made “permanent” under the Act, it may still be changed or repealed in the future by Congress or a new administration.

High‑net‑worth clients should take full advantage of what may be a limited window for significant planning opportunities. Acting before year‑end ensures valuations are completed in time to support transactions, gifting strategies, and charitable contributions.

We would be delighted to support you.
