Thank you to all of those who volunteered to help at Bruegala. Prairie State Legal Services had great support from the MCBA and a great turnout by MCBA members. The Bloomington-Normal Jaycees told me that they were so impressed with the support for PSLS and our volunteers. It was a great showing by the local legal community. Your support helped to increase the amount of funds Prairie State Legal Services will receive from Bruegala. Everyone looked great in their Prairie State t-shirts.
 Thank you so much!    Adrian Barr

2019 BLOOMINGTON CANNON ESTATE PLANNING
TELECONFERENCE SERIES PROGRAM
​HOSTED BY PNC WEALTH MANAGEMENT


See below for location, time and registration information.

NOTE: Change of date due to a scheduling conflict.
The September 5 event is now scheduled for September 12.
Larry Clipp, Relationship Strategist for PNC's Wealth Management Group, invites you to attend the Cannon Estate Planning Teleconference entitled:  Practical Solutions to Vexing Trust Administration Dilemmas

Summary of Teleconference:
The lawyer preparing a trust instrument, and the Trustee interpreting and implementing what the lawyer has written, must engage in a delicate balancing of the intentions of the testator/settlor and the current and anticipated future needs, desires and circumstances of the beneficiaries. Even superb estate planning instruments may founder due to ineffective or defective trust administration. How challenges such as the following are addressed may determine whether a trust administration calamity ensues:

Speakers will address:
  • Conscientiously adhering to governing instrument directives
  • Avoiding adverse tax consequences that may result from trust and estate settlements
  • Trustee selection
  • Trustee compensation
 
Date:       Thursday, September 12, 2019
Time:       11:30am - 12:30pm.
Location:  PNC Bank, 202 E Washington St. Wealth Management Conference Room, Bloomington, IL
