“Irv Blackman’s book, “Tax Secrets of the Wealthy,” should be renamed “The Tax-Saving Bible.” It showed me chapter and verse exactly how to transfer my business to my son [who works with me in the business] and still treat my two nonbusiness children fairly – all without paying one cent in taxes. [This estate was worth $7.2 million].”
A.K. – Oregon
“Refreshing! A book on a technical subject that’s easy to read. Almost makes eliminating the estate tax [on a $10.5 million estate] a simple task.”
J.M. – Iowa
“I thought my estate plan was done: My advisors had reduced my potential estate tax from $6 million to $3.5 million. Irv Blackman brought the tax liability down to ‘zero.’”
J.G. – Penn.
“I was venting my frustration to a friend after six meetings [with tax advisors] trying to plan my mom’s and dad’s estate. Without saying a word my friend went to his car, returned and triumphantly placed “Tax Secrets of the Wealthy” on my desk. He said, “Read this.” I did. Two meetings later (using a combination of strategies from the book), we completed my parents’ estate plan. Even after making large gifts to charity, us kids [four grown children] will wind up with more dollar value than our folks are worth today. Seems like a miracle.”
G.K. – Conn.
“The most profitable investment [buying “Tax Secrets of the Wealthy”] I ever made. The book saved our family $3 million in various taxes and showed us how to give over $1 million to different charities without reducing our heir’s inheritance.”

“Pure genius. Irv [Blackman] raises estate planning to a new level.”
B. W. – Ohio
“Just imagine, my charitable remainder trust not only killed the capital gains tax [on a $1.25 million profit] and eliminated the estate tax, but the IRS sent me a check for $165,000 [actually a reduction of the current income tax because of the charitable deduction]. Now my wife and I get a regular check from the trust every quarter. Thank you, Irv Blackman.”
F. S. – Illinois
“At last, a clear estate tax roadmap that puts you, instead of the IRS, in control.”
S. M. – Alabama
“I couldn’t believe it. The book – with some telephone consultation with Irv – showed me how to give $1.6 million to charity without any cost to me or my family. Even my conservative lawyer approved.”
T. R. – Texas
My estate plan, which was redone after reading and implementing the wisdom in “Tax Secrets,” does more than beat taxes. My plan actually creates additional wealth [from $9 million to $11 million] for my family.
M. B. – Missouri
“Sure could have used your book before dad died. But Tax Secrets…” showed my advisors how to save almost $4 million by making the right changes in my mother’s estate. Irv Blackman talked directly to my lawyer to answer his questions.”
K. N. – Kansas
“The book [“Tax Secrets…”] is nothing less than a series of tax miracles. Must reading for all those without an estate tax problem and their advisors.”

“I always screamed about changing the estate tax law. Now that I’ve read, “Tax Secrets…,, “I would be happy if the law never changed.”

“Like a surgeon, Irv Blackman cuts away all that could hurt you in the tax law… then sews the good stuff that’s left, together into a powerful wealth-preserving fabric.”
S. R. – California
“Most tax books explore one good idea or attempt to solve only one problem area. My family and business enterprises had multiple problems. “Tax Secrets…” discussed every problem and offered workable solutions. As a result, we can transfer my wealth [of $32 million] to my kids without any shrinkage for taxes.”
E. H. – Wisc.
“I just recently purchased your book, “Tax Secrets of the Wealthy”, and four of your special reports, and I couldn’t be more pleased.
