Providing for a Client’s Disposition of Tangible Property

The ABA Section of Real Property, Trust and Estate Law is sponsoring a CLE teleconference and life audio webcast on Nov. 10, 2009, entitled Passwords and Personalty: Planning and Pitfalls in the Disposition of Tangible and Quasi-Tangible Property.  

Here is a description of the program.

Do you find the disposition of tangible personal property is an often overlooked aspect of estate planning? The disposition of tangible (and quasi-tangible) personal property often is more important to clients and their family members than other aspects of the planning. If not handled properly, it can lead to more family disputes and will contests than other parts of the plan. Have you considered the financial value of digital assets (such as eBay, PayPal, online gaming sites, etc.) and the mechanisms for pragmatically including them in estate plans?

This program will address: Drafting techniques, client-relations strategies, valuation methods to help promote a conflict-free distribution process, and the disposition of digital assets (e.g., computer passwords, email accounts and social networking profiles).
