About the Program: Five Chapters from the Book I Will Never Write: Stories about Families, Estates, Trusts, Wealth Planning Strategies, and Just Getting Things Done over 40 years on the Practice’s Frontlines
This program will provide an overview of a number of case studies (facts have been commingled and fictionalized and names have been omitted in order to protect the innocent and the guilty - including Larry!) drawing on 40 years of experience in the estate and trusts field. It is organized into five sections, each focusing on a different phase of Larry’s experience and problem solving throughout…

Chapter 1: Planning Mode covers foundational strategies for long-term wealth management within families.
Chapter 2: Administration Mode addresses the management and administration of trusts and estates, especially when dealing with complex assets.
Chapter 3: Execution Mode focuses on practical challenges encountered when executing trust and estate plans, particularly with inherited assets.
Chapter 4: Fix It Mode examines solutions for problematic estate plans and unforeseen circumstances. 
Chapter 5: Good Luck Mode discusses unpredictable situations and financial contingencies that may affect trusts and estates.
