Urgent: Maryland’s new tax laws, effective July 1, 2025, could impact your estate plan. Signed on April 7, 2025, they include higher income taxes (6.25% for $500K–$1M, 6.5% over $1M), a 2% capital gains tax (incomes over $350K), and a 3% IT services tax. The estate tax exemption remains at $5M (individual) or $10M (couples), despite a rejected proposal to lower it to $2M/$4M, with taxes up to 16% for larger estates.
Don’t wait—review your estate plan before July 1.
Protect your legacy.
Sincerely,
Frame & Frame Attorneys at Law
