Teleconference Series Program
​Hosted by PNC Wealth Management

See below for location, time and registration information.

Date/Time:      Thursday, March 7 / 11.30 am - 12.30 pm
Topic:             The Moving Target: Planning for Clients with Net Worth Over $11 Million
RSVP:             See below.

Summary of Teleconference:
For clients with a net worth of over $11 million, estate planning is as complicated as ever and, in some cases, more so.  For these clients, we just skillfully juggle three interrelated issues:  maximizing basis step-up if it turns out estate tax is not a concern; minimizing the value of the gross estate if estate tax remains or is a concern; and whether plans can be easily modified if and when transfer tax laws change (assuming the client is alive when they do change).  Among the most important considerations for these clients are:

MCBA Breakfast with the Bar at Kelly's Bakery
Remember to have “Breakfast with the Bar” every Friday morning between 8 and 9 am. It’s a great way  to meet and talk with your fellow attorneys in an informal setting. Stay for 10 minutes and have a cup of coffee or stay for an hour and have a full breakfast before court. Grab an associate, partner or friend  and come on down to Kelly’s.   See you Friday!
