Learn a basic approach to planning a client’s estate
Review the basic documents used in an estate plan
Discover the conflicts and other pitfalls inherent in this area of practice

This comprehensive, stand-alone publication is direct from a November 2015 seminar. This publication is recommended for lawyers with minimal background in estate planning, as well as for experienced lawyers looking for a systematic review. It provides a step by step guide from the initial contact with a client to the moment they sign their documents and you close the file.

The authors set forth the basic law, present working concepts and planning suggestions, and provide a brief introduction to more advanced tax concepts that trigger sophisticated estate planning. They also share the practices experienced estate planners use to establish client relationships built on trust.
