The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 made "temporary" changes in the transfer tax rules. The result of these changes is that from 2018 through 2025 only very high-net-worth individuals need to worry about the federal estate tax since most individuals will never acquire property equal to the amount of the estate and gift exemption amounts for the current year. Accordingly, tax practitioners with super high-net-worth clients need to have a working knowledge of the current estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax rules.
