Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed this p Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed this past July, the federal estate and gift tax exemption will increase to $15 million per person and $30 million for married couples in 2026. 

Additionally, the annual gift tax exclusion will be set at $19,000 per recipient or $38,000 per recipient for married couples, allowing someone to give substantial gifts to loved ones before even reaching the federal estate and gift tax exemption. 

Although federal estate taxes have seen significant increases in the exemption, Massachusetts estate taxes will stay at $2 Million.

A durable power of attorney can be drafted so that A durable power of attorney can be drafted so that the attorney-in-fact can have immediate powers to act on behalf of the principal or, alternatively, it can be drafted so that the attorney-in-fact can only act when the principal becomes incapacitated (known as a “springing power”). 

Springing powers may be appealing to someone who is reluctant to give their attorney-in-fact immediate access to their affairs. However, it may cause delays in the attorney-in-fact’s powers if there is required paperwork or procedures to determine if the principal is truly incapacitated.
