A high-net-worth couple is considering advanced estate planning techniques in anticipation of the 2026 federal estate tax changes. If they wish to maximize their combined estate tax exemptions and minimize future estate tax liability, which of the following strategies would be most effective, assuming they have already utilized lifetime gift tax exclusions?
Purchasing a joint life insurance policy with a substantial death benefit.
Setting up a spousal lifetime access trust (SLAT) for the benefit of the surviving spouse.
Establishing an irrevocable trust for the benefit of their children, funded with assets that are expected to appreciate significantly.

Q3Domain Verified
Regarding the portability of the federal estate tax exemption, what is a critical consideration for a surviving spouse when the deceased spouse's estate is well below the exemption amount in the current tax year, but the surviving spouse's estate is projected to exceed the *post-sunset* exemption in 2026?
The surviving spouse can only utilize the deceased spouse's unused exclusion if the deceased spouse's estate was subject to estate tax.
The election for portability must be made within six months of the deceased spouse's death, regardless of the estate's size.
The surviving spouse must file Form 706 to elect portability, even if the deceased spouse's estate is not taxable, to preserve the unused exclusion.
Portability is automatically applied and does not require any proactive action from the surviving spouse.
