Planning Strategies Worth Stealing

Planning for Unique and Problematic Assets

 

After a client’s death, a fiduciary may discover that the decedent owned some unusual assets – art, gun, planes, wine and cannabis - to name just a few. Each of these assets requires special attention in order to avoid waste. This presentation will explore some of the ways to plan for the client with unusual and potentially regulated assets. This session will also examine issues in estate and trust administration where cannabis and firearms are involved. Fiduciaries, their attorneys and their other advisors can easily make expensive, and potentially illegal, mistakes concerning the administration and transfer of unusual and regulated assets, during the planning phase and at the time of estate administration. This session is intended to highlight planning opportunities and help avoid some of those missteps.

Not Too Rich, Not Too Poor: Goldilocks Planning for the Middle-Rich Clients Who Need Our Help

 

Planning for clients who are too rich to keep everything and too poor to transfer everything remains an estate planning challenge. These clients typically lack family offices that can help implement and oversee our most complex planning, yet oftentimes it is just that planning that the client needs. And, of course, the clients need everything else too – charitable planning, asset protection, retirement plan thinking, preserving the family farm and vacation cabin, and so on. We will discuss intelligent, implementable, and interesting ideas for the Middle-Rich (even if we can’t quite define who they are).
