This webinar will provide estate planners, even those with no understanding or awareness of the blockchain, crypto, NFTs and similar concepts, with a clear, actionable framework for integrating blockchain technology into modern planning strategies. Simple explanations of the blockchain and related concepts will be provided. The program focuses on real-world applications, including how blockchain can create tamper-evident records of wills, trusts, and related documents; how cryptographic hashing can establish a permanent “fingerprint” of client documents for evidentiary protection; and practical strategies to reduce disputes involving lost, altered, or competing documents.
