Estate Planning

2008 OBA Annual Institute - Trusts & Estates Section

By Hull & Hull LLP

Estate planning and estate litigation have become more complex because of the dynamic of today’s family and the financial consequences that accompany that dynamic.

This year’s OBA Annual Institute Trusts & Estates program looks at how planning can work or not work (and how litigation may arise), depending on the steps taken by the players involved and especially by those who might end up thwarting it. Topics include the changing dynamic of the family and its effect on the estate, support claims in broken and reconstituted families, administering the family company through a trust or estate or as an attorney, dealing with clients with diminished capacity, estate planning and protection for disabled persons, DNA in estate matters, organ and tissue donation, when charities are part of the plan, income splitting and attribution, the latest on joint assets and secret trusts and other planning for “secret” friends and relations. 

The title of this year’s program is “The Estate Plan: Dynamic or Dynamited?”

As Co-Chair of this year’s program, I can say that this program is a must-attend for estate planners and estate litigators.

The presenters include Jordan Atin, Clare Burns, Barry Corbin, Sheila Crummey, Dana De Sante, Ian Hull, Hilary Laidlaw, Sabina Mexis, Jim O’Brien, Archie Rabinowitz, Brian Schnurr, Liza Sheard, Dr. Michel Silberfeld, Clare Sullivan, Jim Sweetlove, Corina Weigl, Kim Whaley and Susan Woodley.

The program is a full day on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, starting at 9:00 a.m. To register for the program, contact the OBA at (416) 869-1047 or 1-800-668-8900 or email www.oba.org.

I hope to see you there.
