This Talk will introduce 20 issues that families of means could consider in their planning that have little to do with the federal estate tax.  Five such issues are: Are trusts the only way to avoid probate; which type of trust may be right for you (if any); defending the surviving spouse from family; providing for children with special needs; and how the SECURE Act may impact your planning.  This Talk has been popular among attendees due in part to the interactive discussion that takes place.  Seating is limited.
