Who Should Attend

This session is ideal for lawyers practicing in the areas of wills and estates who want to boost their confidence handling non-traditional assets.

About the Program

Your clients’ estates aren’t always filled with stocks and bank accounts. Sometimes, they own less traditional assets like comic book collections, vintage cars, animals, or firearms. These assets come with distinct legal, tax, and practical considerations that, if overlooked, can create significant issues during estate administration. How do you value an item or collection with no clear market? What happens when an estate can’t sell something quickly enough to pay taxes? Who takes care of live animals before probate is granted? If you’re not prepared, these situations can cause delays, stress, and legal risk. Attend this fun, practical webinar with seasoned estates practitioners Demetre Vasilounis and Sandra Arsenault and learn how to spot and plan for these unique assets before they become problems. You’ll gain practical insights into how to:

  • identify assets that require special treatment in wills and trusts
  • plan for valuation and liquidity issues for items that don’t have obvious market value
  • address succession planning for heirlooms, collections, or family-held valuables
  • understand the legal implications of owning firearms, live animals, and other items
  • advise executors on storage, transfer, insurance, and disposal of unique property

Don’t miss this chance to deepen your understanding of real-world estate issues that rarely show up in wills and estates seminars. You’ll leave more confident and better prepared for whatever comes your way.
