Overview

Why You Should Attend

Significant developments regarding state transfer tax laws are occurring at the present time.  In addition, many valuable estate planning techniques are still viable (if not more so) under the current tax laws, notwithstanding the changes to the federal transfer tax system that were made by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.  Further, President Obama’s budget for the government’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 contains additional major proposals for federal transfer tax and income tax changes. 

The program will review these estate planning techniques, proposed federal tax law changes, and state tax law developments, and discuss how they may impact estate, trust and transfer tax and income tax planning, and how you can use this information to your clients’ maximum advantage.  Moreover, the program will review other recent developments regarding estate, trust and transfer tax and income tax planning.
