Gifting: A vital consideration for effective estate planning
The IRS closely scrutinizes valuations for estate and gift tax purposes. The impact of contested valuations can be significant, and undervalued assets may be subjected to tax penalties. Penalties are less likely when an independent, third-party appraiser performs a good faith valuation. In both gifting and estate planning or administration, the goal is to efficiently transfer assets. A properly prepared valuation can help accomplish this goal.
