Course Description

To the lay observer, estate planning for the everyday client seems simple enough: a testamentary instrument (a will, perhaps with a living trust as well), health care advance directives, and a financial advance directive. It’s so simple a computer program could do it, right? Perhaps even with a bit of assistance from a lawyer advising remotely?

Not so fast. This webinar will explore the many shortcomings of a “plain vanilla” estate plan, even for clients without millions of dollars in assets. The oversights could make critical differences for the accomplishment of the client’s goals and outcomes for the heirs.

Learning Objectives: 


  • Determine the necessary steps required for successful estate planning

  • Identify the common errors to avoid with a “plain vanilla” estate plan
