8:00 am - 9:30 am
Corporate College East, 4400 Richmond Rd., Warrensville Hts., OH 44128
About the Program
One of the fastest growing industries in the country could end up being the legal profession, and a portion of this growth will be due directly to clients needing help on the law informally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law in December 2017. Most every provision of the extensive tax legislation is now in effect. By volume, very little of the Act resulted in changes to the estate and gift tax system (although those changes were significant). However, there are scores of new rules in the Internal Revenue Code that one way or another will have some impact on the clients of estate planners, and the tax obligations of the professional advisors themselves. Rather than recite what changes were made in the new law, the presentation will key in on certain aspects of the changes, what actions should be considered, and ideas to be thinking about. Particular focus will be on items of most interest to estate planning advisors. Then again the alternative is to recite each day “this too shall pass” and ignore the whole thing for eight years until the sunset provisions kick in.
