SACRAMENTO ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL

February Meeting
When Lear is Your Client: Estate Planning for Difficult Families

Speaker
John A Hartog, Esq. - Nutter, McClennen & Fish LLP

Description
Estate planning for families who own businesses and other significant assets often present difficulties rooted in the family’s internal dynamics and psychological issues.  The very act of estate planning may upset the delicate balance that a family has developed over decades to keep their family business functioning. Strong emotions, often suppressed for a lifetime, may emerge for testators contemplating their legacies and for beneficiaries contemplating their futures.  Death and grief can release suppressed emotions that fuel legal actions by survivors, which in turn can erode the value of the business more effectively than any tax or competition. Mr. Hartog will discuss planning techniques to address these issues.
