Estate Administration From Soup to Nuts

1.0 CLE (Substantive)

Course Description

The purpose of a very well drafted estate plan is to avoid probate and ensure that your assets are distributed as you wish without government and/or Court involvement. Without a proper estate plan or without the proper

execution of an estate plan, your family will find themselves having to administer your assets pursuant to State laws and under the Court’s supervision. We will go through the estate administration process and the various types of administration. We will also discuss the cost of administration, which is more than just legal fees, and the different types of assets and how they are administered inside and/or outside the probate.

Here are some comments from attendees of the live event:

Even though I've been in this practice for over 20 years, it was refreshing to hear Michelle put a new perspective on some issues of probate. She was great last year and more so this year!

I thought the speaker was really good and personable.

Michelle is an excellent speaker (including last year), and she is well-prepared with excellent content in her PowerPoint slides.

Interesting topic and the speaker was extremely knowledgeable.

She did a great job and I'm studying for my ACP in Estate Planning so I was very excited to attend.

She is one of the best speakers.

Michelle is very detailed and knowledgeable!
