Not necessarily.

Many business owners use trusts as part of their succession planning—even if they don't have ultra-high-net-worth estates. Beginning in 2026, some trusts may face new deduction limitations once taxable income reaches relatively modest levels.

If your business succession plan includes a trust, it's worth reviewing how these new rules may affect your long-term strategy. ➡️ [email protected]

The One Big Beautiful Bill raised the estate tax exemption to $15 million per person. That headline has gotten plenty of attention. A second provision in the same law has gotten far less: a new deduction limitation that now applies to trusts and estates, affecting trusts with as little as $16,000 in annual income. Here is what business owners need to know, and what to do before their current succession structure creates a problem no one planned for.

Most business owners can trace the origin of their work to one idea: providing for their families. The business becomes more than income. It becomes a legacy, a source of stability, and a way to create opportunity for the next generation.

In many cases, that next generation is already involved. A son or daughter may have spent years learning the business from the ground up. They manage operations, maintain client relationships, and lead employees with confidence. From a practical standpoint, the transition is already happening.
