Product Description
Product Description
A revocable living trust is typically the central document of an estate plan, so being able to counsel clients as to the best structure for their specific circumstances is an important skill. Clients look to their attorney for guidance on how best to implement their wishes with respect to the disposition of their property without creating an administrative mess.
This program gives you the essential foundational knowledge and understanding that you need to effectively structure a revocable living trust for a variety of client scenarios. In addition to providing information on advising clients and drafting options, the expert panelists examine revocable living trusts from a trust administration standpoint to flag what works and what doesn’t work. Hone your craft at MCLE with expert guidance!
