COURSE PURPOSE

Learn how to cope with and take advantage of the strange environment in which estate planners find themselves this year.

• How should your documents be changed to deal with the carryover basis rules?

• What types of gifts should and should not be made this year?

• To what extent should generation-skipping transfers be deferred past 2010 or accelerated into 2010?

The speakers also will discuss the use of various types of formula gifts to avoid unintended taxes if Congress retroactively reinstates the estate and GST taxes. Hear the latest news on the estate tax and be up to date with the current state of legislative attention to this topic, and the likelihood of further action in 2010.

QUESTION-AND-ANSWER SESSION

At the end of the program, you can push a number on your touch-tone phone and be placed in a queue for questions. When it’s your turn, you enter the conference call in a mode that allows your question to be heard by the speakers and the rest of the telephone audience. The speakers will then discuss the question with you.
