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.
