Program Overview

This program is a MUST attend for anyone who does estate tax planning.

In Gregory vs. Helvering (293 U.S. 465), the tax court found that "The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted." Put another way, tax avoidance is legal; tax evasion is not. Now that Congress has realigned the estate tax stars, planners need to chart their course anew. This program features a specially chosen panel of estate planning and tax experts, two of whom, Lawrence Brody and Terence Stanaland, reunite from a 2008 program, "The Changing Face of Estate Planning." Panelists will discuss how the present tax law affects the estates of decedents in 2010, what planners can do for the coming two years, as well as planning flexibility for what Congress might do in 2012. Experienced planners will come away with new strategies for the current tax environment and become familiar with tried and true methods that still work.

Attendees will get answers to these and other questions:

  • What tax strategies will be effective under the new estate tax law?
  • Will Split Dollar and Premium Financing continue as viable planning options?
  • How will tax avoidance strategies and techniques benefit advisors who have never had to provide this information to clients?
  • How does portability impact your clients under the new tax law?

Who should attend?

Estate planners, financial planners, investment advisors, insurance producers, and retirement counselors
