Leveraging Technology for Law Firm Growth

It’s often been said that automation is the future, but most attorneys know that the future is now. Law firms currently use technology in a variety of ways – to manage contact and client information, handle billing, prepare legal documents, and more. Not every firm uses an automated document drafting system, but those that do can often leverage it and use it as a tool for more than just creating documents.

Loper Bright Supreme Court Decision: Opportunity to Reassess Tax Positions

The Loper Bright case, decided by SCOTUS at the beginning of July, and which overruled its 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., represents a generation change in the importance of all Federal regulations from those issued under antitrust legislation to those under the Internal Revenue Code.  The decision reclaims for the courts the authority to determine what statutes mean and not what a Federal agency (such as the IRS) claims what they mean, by the issuance of regulations. 

Decoupled State Estate Planning in InterActive Legal

This month’s subscriber drafting webinar will focus on estate tax planning in states that have a separate state estate tax system with a state exemption that is lower than the federal exemption.  In that situation, there is an added layer of complexity when planning for a married couple – how to maximize the use of both exemptions, but pay no estate tax at all at the first spouse’s death.  If the federal exemption is fully utilized, state estate tax will be owed, but if only the state exemption is utilized, the clients may not receive full benefit of the remaining federal exemption.

Medicaid Planning Basics: A High-Level Overview of Crisis and Advance Planning

This course is designed for elder law and estate planning attorneys looking to enhance their ability to support senior clients with long-term care planning. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Medicaid program, focusing on proactive and crisis planning strategies. The course will explore the role of a well-structured estate plan and the use of irrevocable trusts in facilitating proactive client strategies.

Drafting for Descendants and other Non-Spouse Beneficiaries

With estate tax exemptions remaining high – except in a few select states – estate tax planning is not a priority for many clients.  However, how property passes to one’s family remains a driving force behind client estate planning decisions. Understanding the wide variety of options that are available automatically in InterActive Legal will help you draft client documents more efficiently.  In this webinar, we will review all ways in which property can pass to descendants and other non-spouse beneficiaries, including leaving property in various types of trusts, and the various ways in which those continuing trusts can be structured.

Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Planning in InterActive Legal

Estate tax planning is top of mind for planners representing high net worth individuals, but planning for the generation-skipping transfer ("GST") tax should also be considered.  Many clients - and perhaps some attorneys - may mistakenly assume that the GST tax doesn't matter if property is not being left directly to grandchildren.  However, taking advantage of the GST exemption can save millions of dollars in transfer taxation, so clients should at least have the option to build an estate plan that does not waste that exemption.  

All Aboard The Great Wealth Transfer—Don’t Miss The Train!

We’ve all seen the headlines in recent months.  We are living through the greatest transfer of generational wealth in human history (or so the hyperbole goes).  Whether it is the greatest in history or not is a debate for scholars.  However, the magnitude of wealth the baby boomer generation is passing to successive generations is undeniable.  This webinar is aimed at helping estate planning attorneys identify specific strategies and tactics they could and should be using right now to attract multigenerational clients, expand their client base, and secure the futures of their clients as well as their own estate planning practices.
