“Having recently completed the Estate Planning Course, I’m compelled to share my thoughts on its practical value for attorneys like myself who are just starting out in the field. As a new attorney, I found this course to be an invaluable resource in kickstarting my career. The course provides a roadmap for navigating the intricacies of estate planning. From understanding the basics of wills and trusts, to how to tailor each document to a client’s needs, each session offered insights that I could apply in my practice. As someone who’s been practicing for little over a year as an associate, I found that the course served as a much-needed thread to tie together the various drafting techniques and conceptual frameworks I’d encountered in my day-to-day work. It bridged the gap between theory and practice, helping me see how each piece of the puzzle fit into the larger picture of estate planning. One aspect I particularly appreciated was the emphasis on real-world scenarios. Rather than dealing in hypotheticals, the course drew from the instructors’ own experiences and case studies, providing a glimpse into the practical challenges and considerations that estate planning attorneys must face on a day-to-day basis. I fully recommend that anyone considering estate planning as their practice should take this course, and I only wish I had taken it sooner!.”

“The course was very well laid out. I enjoyed how the courses built upon one another allowing for someone with little knowledge to have a good foundation prior to diving into the harder to grasp concepts and estate planning. The handouts and video recordings were very beneficial, and the end of the week workshop helped to solidify how to apply the knowledge into everyday work and documents.”

“I’ve taken many CLEs over the past few years geared to those new to estate planning. Most of them assume too much prior knowledge and dive in in the middle of things. Or, if they are basic enough, they aren’t nearly comprehensive enough. The ILS Basics course is the best I’ve taken because it did not assume any prior knowledge, and it is also comprehensive and puts everything in context. It’s the course I would recommend someone new to estate planning take first.”

“As a solo practitioner, participating in the Estate Planning Basic Series is an investment in my legal education. It helped me to refresh legal concepts, validate procedures, and learn new ways to work more efficiently. From each speaker, I got a new perspective to handle my daily work and expand my knowledge. It is a great tool to keep you on your path to success!”

“I have now taken both the Basics and Tax Planning courses offered from Interactive Legal Academy. The material made available is excellent, and the presentations cover an extensive array of knowledge. I know that what I’m being taught is authoritative and features some of the industry’s best thinking. There really aren’t many options for a full course on estate planning, and definitely nothing so affordable. Teresa Bush deserves a great deal of credit for how she has helped put these all together.”
