Product Description
Product Description

With its many fact-driven issues, estate planning is perfectly suited to the hypothetical approach you will find in Drafting Estate Plans . A practical power source for your next estate planning drafting challenge, this book sets forth clear, real-life case studies, and then presents the drafting techniques and strategies you can use to tailor an estate plan precisely to your client's situation. The book covers such topics as the estate plan for a young couple with children, grandparents who wish to make bequests to their grandchildren, the married couple with a potentially taxable estate, the client who seeks a plan to perpetuate a family business, and the individual looking at retirement and beyond. The authors were selected for their particular expertise in each of the topic areas—so you gain the very best practices, caveats, tips and seasoned guidance.

Recent updates:
- Update: December 2023
  Dear Subscriber:
  
  Thank you for choosing to stay current in drafting techniques pertaining to estate plans with this 2023 revised edition of Drafting Estate Plans . Inside, you will find new material on such topics as these:
  - Pooled trusts. In chapter 4, find an important note concerning new regulations regarding penalties on transfers to pooled trusts. Also in chapter 4, there is a new Medicaid Eligibility Operations Memo regarding the starting date for implementation of the regulations.
  - Personal representatives. In chapter 2, find a Practice Note on conflicts of interest when the same person is serving both as personal representative of an estate and trustee of a trust that is the beneficiary of an estate.
  - Outright gifts during taxpayer's lifetime. In chapter 6, find a Practice Note on the topic of the SECURE Act 2.0 on the timing of the taking of a required minimum distribution.
  - Identity of beneficiaries. In chapter 10, there is discussion of the "see-through trust" and proposed regulations.
  We at MCLE trust that you will find this new material—and more—useful in your practice and valuable in keeping your law library current.
  
  Cordially,
