  • Decanting  

    The Mysterious (and necessary) World of Decanting (streaming)

    By: Jennifer Johnson, JD

    Elder Law Masters Course Session

    Trust decanting (sorry wine lovers) is a necessary tool in the area of elder law and veterans pension planning. You may inherit a trust from another attorney that needs a major overhaul in the tax provisions. Or, a change in the rules may occur and now the irrevocable trust you drafted no longer accomplishes what you had hoped and the Trust Protector is nowhere to be found. This session will teach attendees why decanting can be necessary in many circumstances, and how to do it effectively.

    What Happens When the Plan you Prepared Takes an Unexpected Turn (streaming)

    By: Melissa Wick, JD, and Teresa Nuccio, JD

    Elder Law Masters Course Session

    You prepare the most secure MAPT you and the client could possibly draft – independent trustee, trustworthy lifetime beneficiaries… a lawyer’s dream. Just months later, the grantor is in serious car accident with head trauma and will need 24 hour care the rest of his life. With assets “tied up” in the MAPT what can be done?

    In another case, you prepared a gifting plan with a promissory note that was signed by all parties. Then you learn the client failed to tell you about prior gifts, or an asset they didn’t think counted. These are just a few of the unexpected scenarios that will be explored with solutions offered during this session.

    Your Future Elder Law Practice (audio download)

    By: Lou Pierro, JD

    How Will Outside Influences Change the Way You Practice? 
    The government can change the rules on VA pension and/or Medicaid planning. The SSI rules could change on a moment's notice. Technology has already changed how we communicate with clients and referral sources. This session will look forward to the effect the government, and technology, may have on an elder law practice and what attorneys can (and should) do now to successfully adapt to these outside influences.
