Phil’s dаughter hаs аsked him abоut his estate plan, and whether he wоuld be willing tо gift her a portion of his estate now rather than waiting to inherit it. The capital asset Phil would be willing to gift has a basis to Phil of $10,000, but is currently worth $25,000. Phil believes the asset will not change significantly in value over the remaining 8 years he expects to live. He is confident that his daughter will sell the asset as soon as she receives it. The estate tax is currently and will remain at 40%, and both he and his daughter are subject to a 20% capital gains rate. Assuming Phil has already used his lifetime exemption on gifts made to other family members, from a tax perspective, should Phil gift the asset now or leave it to his daughter at the time of his death?
