Event description

When discussing estate planning with small business owners, it is important to have a working understanding of both basic terms as well the many strategies and techniques available to ensure that the business owner is adequetely protected.

This seminar will begin with a introduction in the basics of Estate Planning including the importance of a Power-Of-Attorney, the difference between a Will and a Trust, and the "default" estate plan....or not planning at all and the negative consequence that could have to the small business owner.

We will then discuss more complex issues including:

-The Federal Estate and Gift Tax

-Washington Estate Tax

-Planning Beyond the Basics for the Business Owner

In addition to the seminar, I hope that those attending will be able to network and get to know one another. Please feel free to contact me if you would like me to discuss certain estate planning related issues, particularly those impacting business owners.

While this seminar is designed for financial professionals, others interested in the topic are encouraged and invited to attend.

    I enjoyed David's presentation very much. Estate and medical planning are really fascinating topics, something each of us should be well versed in, especially as the particulars of these laws change , and mistakes in this area can be very costly down the road. Many things I thought I understood turned out to be old news....and the up to date information will help me very much in both my business and personal life. Thinkspace is a great venue, and David is a skilled educator with a great ability to communicate legal concepts. I would highly recommend this to all.
