Focus on drafting tax apportionment clauses and how the standard clause can have unintended consequences if not discussed with the client. We will review several examples to demonstrate how a standard apportionment clause, or a lack of any direction as to the payment of estate taxes, could impact the ultimate distributions under an estate plan.

Attendees will come away with a knowledge of basic estate and trust administration without weeding through the complexities of estate and gift tax planning and returns.
