NORTHERN VIRGINIA ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL

Join us May 22nd, for the NVEPC Membership Meeting: Important Issues in Modern Trust Design, presented by Lawrence Macklin, Esq., CPA, AEP®.  This informative presentation will explain how to build flexibility into trust agreements that may be controlling millions of dollars for decades or even several generations.  As the rule book that will govern the assets, it is critical that the trust agreements be flexible enough to address the thousands of unforeseeable events that will occur with respect to the assets, the benficiaries, and the word at large.  Macklin also will discuss many sample provisions that should be included in most trusts, but typically are not.

This event has been approved for 1.0 CFP credit.
