COURSE DESCRIPTION

The death of a client does not bring an end to estate planning.  Rather, post-mortem estate planning allows practitioners and beneficiaries to proactively shape the way an estate is treated for income, estate and gift tax purposes, and the way property is distributed.  Through the use of a wide variety of elections, planners can respond to changed law and factual circumstances, errors in planning, and help reduce the tax liability of the estate. There are also important, but often overlooked, issues of protecting the fiduciary from liability.  This program will provide you with a practical guide to the many interrelated post-mortem planning choices available to planners, administrators and beneficiaries.

  • Practical steps to protect the fiduciary
  • Use of elections – estate’s fiscal year, administrative expenses, alternate valuation, in-kind distributions
  • Portability issues post-mortem
  • QTIP election & QDOT planning
  • Effective use of disclaimers – complete and partial
  • Death of a partner & special S corporation stock issues
  • Qualified revocable trusts and Section 645 elections
  • Deferral of estate tax and Section 6166 elections
  • Generation skipping tax planning
