Description
Estate Planning Tools (desktop) is the nation’s most extensive estate planning software for estate planning attorneys, bankers, financial planners and advisors. With over 110 dynamic planning models in 15 different areas, Estate Planning Tools contains all the calculations necessary for you to advise your clients on how to fulfill their goals and determine which options will work best for the future of their clients with the utmost of confidence.
Charitable Financial Planner (desktop) contains several models that are found in Estate Planning Tools, but expands on several of them to include things such as income tax reports, capital gains tax, and tax savings. In addition, there are 3 models that are not found in Estate Planning Tools - Pooled Income Fund, Charitable Remainder in Farm/Residence, and Charitable Gift Annuity. The Charitable Gift Annuity is so robust, it could be a program in and of itself - the desktop has historical rates based on effective dates going back to the 1990's, while the web application currently has historical rates dated back to February 2009.
The SECURE Act strategies that are in the application help advisors with alternatives to the Stretch IRA. With the SECURE Act, Stretch IRAs are only allowed for Exempt beneficiaries. These strategies implore ideas on how to structure IRAs to show the most net benefit.
All of this, in one application that you can use anywhere!

Product Comparison
Version Information
2020.10
- Added new model - Rolling GRAT. This model can be found under the Trusts category. The model shows the impact of having consecutive GRATs created with the annuity payouts funding the new GRAT, and the remainder going to beneficiaries.
- CRUTIRA: IRA Names CRUT as Beneficiary. The model was setup to always optimize the payout based on the highest payout that would pass the 10% test. An option has been added to allow the user to turn this off, and enter a payout percentage between 5% and 50%. Its still suggested, for the scope of the model, to use the optimization to illustrate the most benefit going to the heirs. In addition, a minor tweak to the summary report was made to not show a Charitable Deduction from the CRUT if the Gross Taxable Estate is less than the Federal Exclusion for the year. In this situation, no estate tax would be calculated, and thus, removing the deduction leads to less confusion.
- Special Use Valuation model: Updating to reflect the 2020 rates released in September 2020.
- Data files: encryption. Prior to 2020.10, the files were not using 64 bit encryption.
