You’ve completed your client’s estate planning, and the Will and other documents have been signed. But, like many clients, the estate is comprised of substantial non-probate assets not controlled by the Will. Now what?
Planning an estate in which all the assets are probated is relatively easy. Planning an estate with substantial non-probate assets is much more challenging. This seminar will help you meet that challenge. Our faculty of experienced estate planners will provide you with the expertise to confidently overcome the issues associated with managing non-probate assets.
To effectuate testamentary intent, planning for and coordination of these non-probate assets is an imperative – yet often overlooked – part of the estate planning process. Our panel will teach you how to estate plan for these assets. They will employ real life situations that have occurred involving perfectly drawn estate planning documents, but with non-probate assets passing in complete contradiction of the intent of the testator.
