InterActive Legal Document Provisions – Where do They Come From?
August 25, 2023 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Subscriber Drafting Webinars provide continued training on various aspects of using the InterActive Legal software, usually focusing on drafting particular documents or using certain drafting options. These webinars are free to ILS subscribers. They provide insight and training regarding specific documents and options available within the drafting systems. Subscribers will receive an email outlining the topic of each drafting webinar with instructions for registration.
Webinar Description
Our content support team occasionally is asked about specific document provisions:
- Why did this article show up in my document?
- What is the purpose of this paragraph?
- What question in the interview is causing this language to appear?
In many cases, the provision in question is triggered because either a specific option was selected in an interview (or was pre-selected in a pre-answered interview profile), or the type of estate plan triggers the language. For example, certain text comes in automatically if there are trusts that end at specified ages, but it won’t appear if the trusts last for lifetime. Other language, like the “decanting” provision or the “Payments to Minors” article, are triggered by checking one single box in the document interview.
In this webinar, we’ll go through several different articles and paragraphs, briefly discuss the purpose of each, and point out when each provision appears in a given document. We plan to cover the following:
- Outright Transfers if Trust Already Terminated
- Estate Tax Efficient Shares
- Payments to Minors
- Exercise of Powers Created Hereunder
- Trustee May Create Trusts
- Language related to age-based trust distributions
- GST exemption language
- Disqualified Trustee provisions
- Interested Trustee provisions
- and more!
If you’ve ever wondered why specific language is appearing in your assembled document, this is a chance to find out. We’ll save the last few minutes of the webinar to cover any provisions that you ask about and that we haven’t already addressed. This webinar is appropriate for drafting users of all practice systems.
