Elements Massage: Don’t forget your “self-care”!

Elements Massage™ opened in White Plains in February of 2014, bringing personalized massage therapy to Westchester County. In 2018 it was purchased by Ed and Carol Lachterman, lifelong Westchester residents. “Elements fit in with our belief in holistic healing and natural wellness. The focus on massage only really resonated with us” Ed stated. Independently owned and operated, Elements Massage™ has a clear vision and foundation on which they are built upon.

Founded in 2006 by a massage therapist, Michelle Maruniak, the fundamental core of Elements Massage™ is to provide a truly customized therapeutic massage to every client, every session. “By taking the time to listen and communicate with you prior to every session, Elements Massage™ studio therapists can tailor your session to meet your needs. Our studios’ therapists combine their skills and abilities to perform the massage that you want. That’s The Elements Way®” says co-owner Carol.

Ed continues, “With everything going on in the world today, finding balance for your body and your mind is an important part of creating a holistic self-care routine. Since emotional stress can have a significant impact on your body, and physical discomfort can have a significant impact on your mind, it is important to find self-care practices that help support the wellbeing of both. At Elements Massage we know that each client is unique which is why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to massage therapy. Whether you are looking to help relieve pain, ease stress and tension, experience relaxation, or prioritize self-care - we take the time to listen so we can personalize every aspect of your massage session to meet your individual needs and help heal your body and your mind.” Focused solely on massage, our experienced massage therapist will combine their skills and abilities to perform the massage that you want.

It is actually more than a little humbling that our clients wanted to share the Elements Experience with those that could use it most during these trying times.”

Recognizing those who serve During the mandated shut-down, Ed and Carol realized that their services were more in need than ever. “There was a frustration over not being able to provide our clients with the services that they needed – especially the essential workers” explained Ed. “That is when Carol had an idea to partner up with our members. We ran a promotion to recognize our local heroes and gave our members an opportunity to donate a massage session to an

Ed and Carol Lachterman with members of the White Plains PBA.

Getting Past COVID-19 While the past 6 months have been a challenge, it has given Elements an opportunity to evaluate their business

and find a way to enhance their safety procedures. “We have enhanced our cleaning procedures in all suites and common areas. Our goal is to meet or exceed all state, local and regulatory guidelines to sanitation and hygiene. All disinfectants used in the studio are verified to ensure they meet the EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. We have added air purifiers to every room and all staff and clients go through health and temperature screening and asked to wear masks at all times.

“It has not been an easy transition as we have had to totally retrain our staff to new procedures, but our team has been totally on board and working towards the safety of all” says Debra.

“It is also not without reward. We have had overwhelmingly positive reviews by our clients and members regarding the safety and sanitation. It is a great feeling to know that we are able to truly able to offer Self-care that balances Body and Mind.”

To experience The Elements Way® for yourself, give Elements Massage White Plains a call to schedule an appointment.

Managed by a life-long therapist, Debra, Elements Massage™ has a great leader “The Elements Way® is designed to deliver a personalized experience in every aspect of your massage. Communication about your therapeutic needs begins when the appointment is scheduled. You tell the studio what you want, what you expect and on what areas you would like us to focus. That information allows our studio to match you with a therapist whose skill set will deliver the massage you have requested.

Elements Massage™ studios know what their therapists are best at, and they know that you deserve a therapist who will meet your expectations.”

The Elements Way® doesn’t stop once the massage begins. The studios’ therapists conduct regular check-ins and pressure adjustments

What Impact Will the Pandemic and The Presidential Election Have on Federal and New York Estate Tax Exemptions?

BY: ANTHONY J. ENEA, ESQ

I

t is undeniable that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant and detrimental impact on the fiscal well- being of our local, state and federal government. Trillions of dollars in stimulus packages and huge budget deficits at all levels of government do not bode well for the future of the New York and Federal estate tax exemptions, which are respectively, $5.85 million dollars and $11.58 million dollars per person for the year 2020.

Large budget deficits will place significant pressure on the State of New York to cut back spending and raise revenues by every means possible including, reducing the estate tax exemption and increasing the estate tax rate.

Perhaps a harbinger of things to come is the new Millionaire’s tax being implemented in New Jersey on those making more than $1

million per year in income.

One of the reasons the New York Estate tax exemption was increased to $5.85 million per person was to be more competitive with the federal exemption and to prevent the affluent from leaving New York for tax friendly states; and states that do not have a state estate tax/death tax, such as Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Colorado and others. That being said, it appears that Covid-19 and the increase of crime in urban areas may have already pushed the affluent to depart New York for these more friendly states. The ability to work remotely has also had a significant impact on the willingness of people to relocate.

If one does not properly plan for estate taxes in New York the tax impact can be devastating. New York has an estate tax “cliff.”

If one’s estate passes to someone other than their spouse and is five percent greater than the New York Estate Tax exemption ($5.85 million) then the entire estate is taxable at the highest New York Estate tax rate of sixteen (16%) percent, not just the excess above the exemption.

Irrespective of what happens with the federal estate tax exemption, budgetary pressure may result in the New York exemption being reduced and the New York estate tax rate being increased. 2021 will definitely be an interesting year for taxation issues in New York.

With respect to the federal estate and gift tax exemption($11.58 million) per person for 2020 (if not made permanent by 12/31/2025 it drops to approximately $6 million per person) even before the pandemic struck

and in anticipation of the 2020 Presidential election, two prominent Senate Democrats proposed legislation reducing the federal estate tax exemption to $3.5 million per person and lower. Whether the exemption will remain at the present amount will hinge upon the results of the upcoming election. President Trump has expressed his intention that the exemption remain at its current amount, however, there is a concern among many estate planning attorneys and CPAs that a Vice President Biden victory with control of the house and senate could easily result in the exemption being reduced to $3.5 million or lower and that the tax rate will increase from the present forty percent to as high as sixty percent.

Although, Vice President Biden has not stated that he would do so, as part of the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force, Biden has already expressed his priority to raise a variety of taxes on corporations and the affluent.

The concern among many estate and gift tax authorities is that the pressure from the left wing of Biden’s party will make a decrease in the exemption amount and an increase in the tax rate almost inevitable.

Earlier this year the IRS announced that if one made taxable gifts in reliance on the existence of the current estate and gift tax exemption, and if said exemption is later reduced then, in that event the IRS would not seek to “claw-back” into the calculation of the size of one’s taxable estate the amount gifted before the current exempt amount changed.

This in effect gives the green light to those wishing to reduce the size of their estate to make large taxable gifts before the federal exemption is scheduled to drop on January 1, 2026 or even earlier. When the above is taken into consideration with the potential for assets to be valued lower as a result of COVID’s impact and with interest rates being very low, the planning and gifting options are even more attractive.

Clearly taking advantage of the larger exemption before the election or before a new Congress is sworn in is the smartest way to reduce one’s taxable estate both for New York and Federal Estate tax purposes. For the affluent this may be a classic case of “If you snooze, you lose!”

urke Rehabilitation Hospital, a member of the Montefiore Health System, has been a cornerstone of the White Plains community since it opened in 1915. This 150bed acute rehabilitation hospital is Westchester County’s only hospital entirely dedicated to rehabilitation medicine.

Burke efficiently expanded the hospital’s capacity and was able to provide lifesaving rehabilitative treatment for Covid-19 survivors who were discharged from the acute care hospitals.

An Unprecedented Era of Change and Forced Adaptation Is Putting a Spotlight on Winners and Losers.

TERESA MARZIANO, REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON

T

he reopening of economies and businesses continue and the path toward normalization is increasingly well-traveled.

Collectively, we know that when we arrive at a new steady state, many aspects of the economy and daily life will look different.

Businesses and individuals alike are peering into the future for clues and guidance as they adapt to a new reality. The Federal Reserve Board is maintaining interest rates at multiyear lows and signaling an extended period of accommodation. Market liquidity is also under the Fed’s close watch and the credit markets are functioning efficiently, a huge positive for commercial real estate markets.

Companies are finding ways to operate and move forward amid the Covid-19 health crisis. We can expect fluctuations as Covid-19 has become an unwelcomed companion that will cause disruption at a moments’ notice.

An effective vaccine will unquestionably improve the Country’s health landscape but challenges in manufacturing and distribution lay ahead.

“The Goldilocks environment that was enjoyed prior to Covid-19 has now morphed into an economy of extremes where some sectors thrive while others languish.”

U.S. job gains continued in September, however, the rate of improvement slowed, and labor force participation declined, signaling the ranks of discouraged job seekers are growing. Nationwide, there was a noteworthy drop in government education employment while retail and temporary jobs have continued to gain traction.

Congress is discussing an additional broad stimulus package, but approval in an election year remains uncertain. Elections and winter months are upon U.S. citizens, and our national resilience may be tested once again.

Employment trends give an indication that many businesses have been transformed for the foreseeable future. Some have taken the opportunity to accelerate innovation and are gaining market share. Others have fallen behind and face poor outcomes.

Those in the eye of the Covid-19 storm, mainly service businesses catering to travel, entertaining and hospitality, are deeply disrupted and attempting to recover.

Commercial Real Estate is facing similar pressures. Commercial properties are home to the broad array of businesses that are part of the economic engine of the country. Some segments of the commercial real estate market are performing exceedingly well, others are fading or seeking survival through forced evolution and imposed flexibility.

In some cases, the buffer effect of established long leases is giving real estate owners some time to react. Others face a sudden loss of revenue and have had to rely on their own balance sheets to cover gaps. Highly leveraged owners will have less room to maneuver and their properties are likely to become an opportunity for new investors.

New York State has provided foreclosure moratoriums for commercial owners and extended the residential eviction moratorium, for those that have been impacted by Covid-19. This is giving some breathing room to commercial and residential tenants to recover business activity, regain lost jobs and begin repairing balance sheets. Landlords are planning around these measures, working with tenants as much as possible, but struggling with their own commitments to lenders.
