(October 22, 2012)

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 22, 2012

On Tuesday October 16th, 2012, Elizabeth Gordon, host of Burr & Formans Results Matter radio on Business RadioX®, was joined in the downtown Atlanta studio by James M. McCarten, a Partner with Burr & Forman, Jason Meadows, Head of the Tax Department and a Partner with Frazier Deeter, Susan Tillery, the President & Co-Founder of Paraklete® Financial, Inc. and John Ellard, CLU, a Principal with Veracore.

The panel was brought in to discuss Death, Taxes & Change and specifically the upcoming fiscal cliff and its potential repercussions for individuals and businesses in the area of estate, income and payroll taxes.

The panelists agreed that should the fiscal cliff (an end to the 2001 and 2003 Bush Tax Cuts that have already been extended once) occur agreed that both individuals and businesses will be affected and that the best advice is to talk to your trusted team of advisers. Susan Tillery emphasized that point and said for the most part she is urging her clients to have an asset allocation and stay the course.

Jason Meadows noted that he is seeing many clients rushing to the closing table on deals before the year end to take advantage of the known current climate as opposed to waiting for the unknown in 2013. He also explained that 90% of Americans will see their taxes rise if the fiscal cliff occurs.

John Ellard said he was seeing similar trends with his clients and further explained that his customers desire certainty. He also noted that life insurance will become far more attractive to many people as part of their estate planning if the fiscal cliff happens as it is likely to do.

Burr & Forman Partner, Jim McCarten works with many family businesses in his practice, but also advises his individual clients to think of their family business as a family business. He says of both businesses and individuals, If you dont plan, you will fail. further explaining that with these upcoming changes and no planning, your children could inherit 40 to 50% less than you had planned merely because you died on the wrong day.
