The “Big Beautiful Bill”: What It Means for Estate Tax and Step-Up in Basis

In this episode of the CPMT Podcast, attorney Tony Turner breaks down the estate tax changes in the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill”—and what they mean for your estate planning strategy.

Tony explains how the new law makes the $30 million estate tax exemption permanent (for married couples), what that means for step-up in basis, and why many existing estate plans may now be outdated.

You’ll learn:

- How the new $15 million per-person exemption affects estate planning

- The trade-off between avoiding estate tax and keeping a step-up in basis

- Why now is the time to review your will and trust documents

- How higher-net-worth families can use trusts to reduce future tax exposure

- If your estate plan was created before this change—or relies on older tax thresholds—it’s time to revisit it with your attorney.
