About the Program
Estate planning continues to evolve amid new case law, expanded FinCEN oversight, sweeping charitable-giving changes under the new tax law, and the accelerating intersection of digital assets and artificial intelligence with everyday practice. This presentation reviews recent developments across each of these areas — from GRAT and QTIP litigation to Section 68's charitable deduction overhaul, from FinCEN's shifting reporting regime to AI's growing role (and risks) in professional practice — and closes with practical lessons drawn from recent celebrity estate disputes. Attendees will leave with clear, current insights to better counsel clients amid increasing complexity.
