    Evaluating Estate Planning Techniques in a Rising Interest Rate Environment
    Current and anticipated future interest rates often determine when certain estate planning tools will be effective. Interest rates can be a key factor in determining not only what techniques to consider, but also when it makes the most sense to use them. Learn about conditions leading to the Federal Reserve System’s rate hikes.  Review the relationship between interest rates and transfer tax planning.  Examine several rate-sensitive wealth transfer techniques, and learn how best to recommend the right tools for your clients in a rising interest environment.

    23 & Me: The Downside of Sharing Your DNA
    With the proliferation of Ancestory.com and 23 & Me, people are more curious than ever before about their biological family members, both living and deceased. For people of significant wealth, this can cause problems if someone “out of the blue” claims a right to wealth or inheritance. Using lessons learned from an actual case, this presentation provides tips and best practices for drafting a will and trust to avoid problems, outlines what happens if someone, particularly a high-net-worth individual, dies with or without a trust or will, and describes the expense, both monetarily and relationally, involved in fighting this type of claim.
