To assist people in learning what is included in a taxable estate and what deductions and expenses are available to reduce the taxable estate, the Texas Agricultural Extension Service is hosting four estate planning seminars across the state. Basic estate planning devices such as wills, living trusts, tax deferrals, gifts and property titles will be examined by the speaker, Dr. Wayne Hayenga, Extension agricultural economist. He also will talk about using corporations and partnerships, special farm land valutions and deferred estate tax payment rules for agricultural operations. Additionally, Hayenga will discuss life insurance and its role in estate planning, valuation rules and treating beneficiaries fairly.
Participants are responsible for making their own hotel reservations if needed.
