At death there is a step-up (increase) in basis that invites people to hold on to assets rather than sell them. However, not everyone wants to hold on to appreciated assets for the benefit of their heirs’ income tax savings.  There are, for most assets, at least a half dozen ways to reduce, defer or eliminate capital gains taxes. These benefit the parent (older American) but do not necessarily harm their heirs.  Timing is the most important element in this planning.  So if you understand enough about these now, you will listen for the magic words: `You know, I’m thinking of selling my business/building in two to three years.
