New Answer Book! Private Clients Legal & Tax Planning Answer Book 2016

Private Clients Answer Book

Private Clients Legal & Tax Planning Answer Book 2016 provides practical guidance for estate planning for individuals.

This new Q&A resource addresses complex client questions related to the benefit and protection of the client’s assets, dispositions to current and future family members, the uses of trusts and other vehicles, and current and future charitable donations.

Authored and edited by G. Warren Whitaker and a team of experts from Day Pitney LLP, this new Answer Book discusses the different ways in which assets can be owned and transferred; best practices in executing wills and trusts; clear guidance on estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes; and answers on retirement accounts, charitable giving, and family and marital issues.

Stockpiled with highlighted practice tips, Private Clients Legal & Tax Planning Answer Book 2016 also provides guidance on issues related to incapacitation, international concerns, and managing the estate planning team (attorneys, accountants, trust officer, etc.)

If you’d like to order Private Clients Legal & Tax Planning Answer Book 2016 or view it on PLI Discover PLUS, please email the PLI Library Help Desk or call 877-900-5291.
