It's a Perfect Storm for Estate Planning

Many solo and small firm lawyers do at least some estate planning.  The present economic uncertainty makes this a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" according to Jonathan Mintz for your clients to be doing estate planning.

Writing for The Compete Lawyer, Jonathan Mintz says, "In early 2009, we are in the midst of a “perfect storm” that creates exceptional planning opportunities we are not likely to see again for many years, if ever. The factors that have come together to create this perfect storm are certainty as to the federal estate tax, significantly reduced asset values, and historically low interest rates."  He outlines a great strategy to market to your clients so they can take advantage of the opportunity by explaining to them how they can take advantage of

• Reduced asset values that favor transfer of wealth
• Historically low interest rates
• Grantor trusts
