Description:
The IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2023-2, which had a substantial impact on estate planning, particularly where an irrevocable trust is involved. In the last decade or so, more families have begun utilizing irrevocable trusts to protect their assets from spend-down in order to qualify for government benefits, such as Medicaid and VA Aid and Attendance.<br/><br/>Prior to the issuance of this ruling, it was unclear whether assets passing to beneficiaries through an irrevocable trust would receive a step-up in basis, thereby eliminating any capital gains taxes that would otherwise be owed. Historically, assets that are disposed of during an individual’s lifetime are subject to capital gains taxes on the increase in value of that asset over time. The amount of capital gains owed is determined largely by the difference between the value at the time of purchase and the value at the time of transfer.

A weaker US dollar and comments from Fed officials hinting at rate cuts have boosted sentiment for gold as lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. Market analysts say gold is benefiting from its appeal as an inflation hedge, though slowing inflation data has increased bets the Fed will ease monetary policy.")

_survey-reveals-fresh-and-quick-way-to-calm-anxiety.webp "The simplest tool to calm anxiety is just a step away, according to a recent study. <br/>A survey of 2,000 Americans with outdoor spaces at home revealed that 94% of respondents agreed that the simple act of stepping outside helps them relax when stressed or anxious. <br/><br/>On average, respondents reported it takes about nine minutes to calm down and unwind when stressed after stepping out for fresh air. <br/><br/>Commissioned by TruGreen for Mental Health Awareness Month in May, and conducted by Talker Research, the research found that seven in ten have made a conscious decision to spend time more outside to improve their mental health. <br/><br/>Similarly, 69% have made an effort to incorporate time outside in their daily routine.<br/><br/>Looking at day-to-day stress and anxiety, respondents rated their stress at a moderate level of four (on a scale of one to 10). <br/><br/>However, those who include outdoor time in their daily routines reported lower stress levels (4) compared to those who don’t (5), on a scale from one to 10. <br/><br/>According to the research, the biggest stressors of daily American life are finances (52%), current events (37%), health (37%) and relationships (29%). <br/><br/>Respondents reported activities including breathing in fresh air (54%), going on a walk (53%), cleaning and organizing (34%) and texting or calling a friend (33%) as helpful ways to reduce stress. <br/><br/>Reflecting the positive mental health benefits of time outside, more than half (51%) of respondents considered having an outdoor space a non-negotiable when they moved into their home. <br/><br/>But despite the benefits of outdoor time, many struggle to prioritize it: 65% of those with outdoor routines will skip it on a busy day. <br/><br/>The study also revealed insights into the emotional connection Americans have with their outdoor spaces. <br/><br/>Nearly half (48%) said having a nice yard gives them a sense of pride and three-quarters (74%) feel they should spend more time than they do enjoying their outdoor space. <br/><br/>Of those, 57% even feel guilty about not spending enough time outside in their yards. <br/><br/>And aesthetic affects outdoor time too: More than nine in 10 respondents (92%) said messiness or poor upkeep of their yards negatively impacts their enjoyment of outdoor time.<br/><br/>“A well-kept outdoor space enhances home appeal and makes it easier for homeowners to incorporate outdoor time into their daily routines. But while maintaining outdoor spaces is a priority for nearly 90% of Americans, it comes with challenges like weeding and pest control,” said Matt Morelli, region technical manager at TruGreen. “If maintenance feels overwhelming, partnering with a professional can ease the burden, rather than facing the task alone, so homeowners can get back to enjoying their free time — including being outside.” <br/><br/>Survey methodology:<br/>This random double-opt-in survey of 2,000 Americans whose house or living space includes a yard, patio, or porch was commissioned by TruGreen between Apr. 16 and Apr. 22, 2024. It was conducted by market rese")
