The annual gift tax exclusion is a simple estate planning option that reduces federal estate taxes. You can give away $14,000 tax free each year to as many people as you would like. If you are married, you and your spouse can each make annual exclusions gifts thereby doubling the amount you can gift tax free each year.
In addition to the annual exclusion, there is an unlimited gift tax exclusion for direct payments of qualifying medical and educational expenses. This is an unlimited exclusion which applies regardless of your relation to the recipient of the medical or educational services. To qualify the payments must be made directly to the medical provider or educational institution.

As a law firm, they have held my hand as a professional law team and have shown compassion. Thank you Sandra.
Wilson & Wilson Estate Planning & Elder Law, LLC helped me navigate a very tumultuous time in my life. Sandra and her team were so gentle with me and the processes that needed to take place for a timely distribution. They worked tirelessly to ensure I was supported throughout the process. Although no one is actually prepared for the death of their loved one Sandra made going through it less painful. I’m forever...
Bill Wilson and his staff are amazing! We have known Bill for over 25 years and have trusted him to handle our different legal situations. From his expertise in our estate planning to seeking his advice on handling our elder relative's estate, we are confident we have the best protection by using Bill. My family and I are truly thankful for his knowledge and patience when dealing with such personal and tough conversations...
GOD has blessed me with alot but by people's standards maybe not that much; however Attorney Sandra Schildgen made me feel like a Billionaire! It is also noteworthy that from the front office and assistant personnel gave that feeling "we are family". I look forward in continuing our relationship in the future. GIVE Wilson & Wilson your business.
