CLE on Estate Planning for the Chronically Ill

American Bar Association’s Section of Real Property, Trust and Estate Law is sponsoring a 90-minute Teleconference and Live Audio Webcast on October 19 entitled Estate Planning for Clients Living with Chronic Illness: Planning and Drafting. The program information is below:

Chronic Illness affects nearly 120 million Americans. How can attorneys better serve, advise and draft estate planning documents for clients living with chronic illness and their loved ones? In many situations modest changes to traditional estate and other planning techniques can improve protection and peace of mind for clients living with chronic illness.

This seminar will provide a sophisticated but practical overview of how each phase of planning and drafting is affected. Misconceptions and myths will be debunked. Concepts ranging from assessing competency, addressing the differing impact of difference diseases, cognitive issues, physical disabilities, income tax issues, charitable giving and more will all be explained.

Comprehensive materials, including sample forms, will be made available.
