In this episode, we unpack Vice President Kamala Harris's ambitious plan to lower housing costs, which would be funded by adopting Senator Elizabeth Warren's sweeping estate tax overhaul. We explore the major changes proposed, including reducing the estate tax exclusion to $3.5 million, significantly increasing estate tax rates, and imposing new restrictions on popular estate planning tools like GRATs and grantor trusts. We also discuss the broader implications of these changes, such as the potential impact on wealth transfer strategies and the generational transfer of assets.
