Griff Leschefske Presenter at Maine State Bar Association 2025 Winter Bar Conference: A Pragmatic Approach to Estate Tax, Sunset Planning in Maine

The federal estate tax exemption for 2025 is slated to sunset at $13,990,000, with many suggesting that high net worth clients consider making “sunset gifts” to take advantage of the estate tax exemption before it may be reduced by half in 2026.

In this presentation, Pierce Atwood Trusts & Estates attorney Griff Leschefske will explain "sunset planning," detailing what it is and what it isn’t, how it works, and the reasons behind it. The program aims to provide practical insights and guidance for Maine attorneys when approaching sunset planning with their clients.
