Thoughtful Annual Gifting
Building Your Family Legacy
At Beese Fulmer, we view annual gifting as more than a tax benefit. Gifting can be an effective way to transfer wealth to future generations while supporting long-term financial and estate planning goals.
By strategically gifting assets during your lifetime, you can help reduce the size of your taxable estate, preserve more wealth for heirs, and provide financial support when it can have the greatest impact. We can help you develop gifting strategies that support the transfer of appreciating assets, encourage responsible wealth stewardship, and align with your family’s broader legacy and financial objectives.
Annual Gift Tax Exclusion
The 2026 annual gift exclusion allows individuals to give up to $19,000 per recipient without impacting their lifetime exemption or triggering gift taxes. Married couples can collectively gift up to $38,000 per recipient annually, meaning they could transfer $76,000 to two children completely tax-free. This approach allows families to reduce their taxable estates over time.
