Beyond Bloodlines: Planning for the Nonparent Client

Jennifer will explore the nuanced considerations of estate planning when children are not in the picture. Topics covered will include best practices for client engagement regarding nontraditional family structures, drafting for flexibility in fiduciary selection and anticipated changes in a trust’s beneficiary pool, and the importance of testamentary charitable transfers to a nonparent client’s legacy.
