基本的な説明

A $20 million estate warrants a dated federal and state exposure model, but the right response still depends on family security, basis, asset growth, prior gifts, portability, liquidity, and willingness to administer advanced strategies.

Three different estate measures
Gross estate, taxable estate, and probate estate are different measures.
Advanced transfers reduce control
Advanced transfers can reduce control or access.
Administration is part of the cost
Valuation, reporting, and ongoing administration are part of the strategy's real cost.
