Valuable Tips For Planning/Drafting Under The 2010 Tax Act — 3.25 Montana General Credits

This 3.3-hour March 22, 2011 talk by Louis A. Mezzullo, Esquire, a partner in the Rancho Santa Fe, CA offices of McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, begins with a practical explanation of the estate, gift and generation-skipping provisions of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 ("2010 Tax Act"). Mr. Mezzullo follows with an extensive — more than two hour — discussion of new estate planning and drafting opportunities and pitfalls under the relevant 2010 Tax Act provisions and related topics.

NOTE: For a course which is primarily a detailed explanation of the 2010 Tax Act provisions affecting estates, gifts and trusts (with much less on the planning opportunities and pitfalls), please see Louis A. Mezzullo's December 28, 2010 program, 2010 Tax Act: The Estates, Gifts And GST Provisions, which, like this course, is also listed under "Estate Planning" on course lists for each state. Mr. Mezzullo's December talk was recorded immediately after passage of the 2010 Tax Act, before practitioners had time to thoroughly consider the planning and drafting effects of the 2010 Tax Act.
