A successful estate planning practice requires knowledge of federal and state statutes, rulings, and case law on a variety of substantive areas including taxation, trust, will, and property law. You must also possess finely-tuned interview skills, as well as the ability to elicit and effectively use a substantial body of financial and personal data for each client.
This signature MCLE program gives you an overview of planning for a modest estate and the in-depth knowledge you need to plan for a variety of estate matters and effectively run your practice. The faculty focus on the practical application of the law and skills involved in planning an estate value of less than $2,000,000, although concerns that arise in larger estates are also covered. You learn the impact of both the Massachusetts and the federal estate tax exemptions. You also get advice on preparing wills, trusts, health care proxies, and powers of attorney based on your client’s financial situation.
MCLE webcasts are delivered completely online, underscoring their convenience and appeal. There are no published print materials. All written materials are available electronically only. They are posted 24 hours prior to the program and can be accessed, downloaded, or printed from your computer.
