Institution:

University of Wyoming

Subject:

LAW

Description:

Applies estate and gift tax principles in a survey of estate planning principles and techniques. Traditional estate planning tools including wills, trusts, and durable powers of attorney will be discussed as well as post-mortem planning, administration issues, and planning for special situations, such as owners of closely held businesses, entrepreneurs, and the disabled. Estate planning focuses heavily on planning for individuals who have sufficient wealth to make them subject to the estate and gift tax portions of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the focus is heavily on tax consequences of various planning methods. Of course, the same planning techniques generally can be applied to those individuals with modest or little wealth.
