Repairing Estate Plans That Are No Longer Appropriate (Jan 2017)

Sometimes the best laid plans of clients and their estate planning lawyers go astray. Sometimes we devise the ideal plan for a client but, due to the occurrence of unforeseeable circumstances or a change in the law, the plan no longer is appropriate. Or rather, the plan works fine but unanticipated factors afford the opportunity to shift additional wealth for the client. Explore what tools we can bring to the table to modify or unwind an existing estate planning transaction to accomplish a client’s current goal.
