Bankruptcy and Estate Planners

The  American Bar Association Section of Real Property, Probate and Trust Law and the ABA Center for Continuing Legal Education is sponsoring a 90-minute teleconference and life audio webcast on Thursday, March 23, 2006 entitled The New Estate Planning and Asset Protection Essentials: Practical Implications of the 2005 Bankruptcy Act.

Here is an excerpt from the program’s promotional materials:

Think that the 2005 Bankruptcy Act changes don’t affect your estate planning practice? Think again—numerous provisions can impact your clients’ estate and asset protection planning.

This program will review the provisions of the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) that impact estate and asset protection planning. Our experts also will cover recent cases decided under the Act and additional developments regarding self-settled trusts.

Our experienced faculty will explain how BAPCPA affects asset protection and estate planning, answer common questions and detail potential strategies that you can put to use immediately to protect clients’ assets in this new environment.  Practitioners of all skill levels will emerge with valuable information and practical planning tips.
