Net Worth Summary

Total Combined Net Worth: $7,850,000

  • • Real Estate: $2,400,000 (Primary residence: $1.8M, Vacation property: $600K)
  • • Investment Accounts: $3,200,000 (Joint brokerage accounts, taxable)
  • • Retirement Accounts: $1,500,000 (John's 401(k): $900K, Jane's IRA: $600K)
  • • Business Interest: $650,000 (Sterling Consulting LLC - 100% ownership)
  • • Other Assets: $100,000 (Cash, vehicles, personal property)

Estate Tax Analysis

Washington State Estate Tax Exposure

Combined estate ($7.85M) exceeds WA exemption of $3M per person. Estimated WA estate tax liability: ~$750,000 upon second death if no planning.

Federal Estate Tax Status

Combined estate ($7.85M) is well below federal exemption of $13.99M per person. No federal estate tax concern under current law.

Key Planning Considerations:

  • • Business valuation may require discount analysis for lack of marketability
  • • Real estate basis step-up planning for appreciated vacation property
  • • Liquidity analysis needed - estate may require asset sales to cover WA tax
  • • Consider charitable remainder trust for highly appreciated investment accounts

AB Trust Strategy Recommendation

An AB Trust (bypass/credit shelter trust) structure will maximize use of both WA exemptions and provide:

  • • Protection of first spouse's exemption amount from being "wasted"
  • • Asset growth in B Trust (bypass) outside surviving spouse's taxable estate
  • • Flexibility for surviving spouse to access B Trust funds if needed
  • • Estimated tax savings: $400K-$600K depending on appreciation and timing

AI Has Full Workspace Access

When AI executes a task, it can access all workspace information (notes, uploaded files, guidance checklists), to make intelligent decisions based on complete context.

Context Makes AI Smarter

Workspaces give AI the same information a human would need to complete a task. This context-awareness is what separates Sterling from simple automation tools.

Reads Client Context

AI analyzes all notes and client information before taking any action, ensuring personalized execution

Example: Before drafting an email, AI reviews recent meeting notes and client preferences

Accesses Uploaded Files

AI can read tax returns, statements, and documents uploaded to the workspace for data extraction

Example: Pulls specific numbers from uploaded forms to complete analysis tasks

Follows Guidance Checklists

AI validates its work against pinned guidance to ensure all requirements are met

Example: Checks off each step in the estate planning checklist as it completes them

Updates Workspace Status

As AI completes work, it updates the workspace with results, findings, and next steps

Example: Adds summary of eligibility analysis to Notes tab for advisor review

Human-in-the-Loop

Advisors can review AI work directly in the workspace before it's finalized. Check calculations, edit drafts, and approve recommendations.
