Estate tax planning can involve using various legal strategies, including trusts and irrevocable trusts, to minimize taxes. Though an estate planning attorney may not be directly involved in minimizing income taxes, they can coordinate with financial professionals to ensure proper planning.
Taxes, whether income or estate taxes, will need to be paid eventually, so it is essential to include tax planning in your overall estate plan. Taking advantage of IRS regulations to minimize taxes is both legal and advisable.
