About the Program
Recent research suggests that one in five Americans may choose to remain “childfree”. With this presentation, Jennifer will unpack these and other related social science research findings and examine their potential impacts on the estate planning process. Topics covered will include best practices for client engagement regarding nontraditional family structures, drafting for flexibility in fiduciary selection and anticipated changes in a trust’s beneficiary pool, and the importance of testamentary charitable transfers to a childfree client’s legacy. This is an intermediate level program.
