A 90-minute CLE Audio Webcast/Phone Seminar: The Impact of Estate Tax Repeal - Going Blindly Where No One Else Has Gone Before

The initial January 13, 2010 showing of this CLE has been sold out, but ABA-ALI will replay the program with live questions and answers on Friday, January 15, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. EST and Friday, January 22, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. EST.

All estate planners face uncertainty about the future of estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes in light of the repeal of the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes as of January 1, 2010. Because of this and the possible reinstatement of those taxes by Congress in 2010, the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel ("ACTEC") and ALI-ABA offer this convenient 90-minute audio webcast (or phone seminar - your choice). All attendees will receive complimentary access to the seminar archives.

Leading ACTEC members will discuss those issues that estate planners must understand in order to properly advise their clients. Panelists will suggest steps that estate planners can take to address them in these challenging times.  This CLE will cover the following topics:

• Current legislative situation & possible legislation in 2010

• Impact of the repeal of the estate tax

• How to handle the repeal of the generation-skipping transfer tax

• Gifting strategies in 2010

• Constitutionality of any legislation to reinstate the estate & generation-skipping transfer taxes
