In 2011 the government may pass a bill that would mean a death tax of 55% will be owed to the government. There are opportunities for exemption for a limited group of people, but that doesn’t mean you cannot reduce what you will owe. Instead of 55%, how does 0% sound? Mike Walters will explain all of this and much more at an upcoming free workshop. For dates and times or to sign up, visit www.walterstrustinfo.com and register for a free workshop today.
