Conference on Tax and Estate Planning

The University of Notre Dame Law School is sponsoring the Fortieth Annual Notre Dame Tax & Estate Planning Institute on November 13-14, 2014. Provided below is the program description:

The 40th Annual Notre Dame Tax and Estate Planning Institute will take place on November 13th and 14th, 2014, in South Bend at the Century Center on the banks of the St. Joseph River in downtown South Bend, Indiana, at 120 South St. Joseph Street. South Bend uses Eastern Time (same as New York City)

The 40th Annual Institute will present topics relevant for all individuals, even those not exposed to the estate tax because of the high exemptions. Several sessions are designed to evaluate financial products and planning techniques so that one can better understand and evaluate these products and proposals in determining not only the tax and financial advantages they offer, but also their limitations. In addition, the Institute offers topics not found in most estate planning CE programs such as protecting the elderly from scams and exploitation. As part of the objective of refreshing areas that can expand one’s practice, a session will review the income tax consequences of debt cancellation, foreclosures, and debt restructuring. Recognizing the importance of the income tax, the Institute will continue to devote sessions to income tax planning techniques clients can use immediately.
