From “I Do” to “Who Gets What?”: Marriage and Wealth Transfer Planning Unpacked

Join us for an engaging discussion on how marital law shapes estate and wealth transfer planning. With this presentation, Elizabeth Glasgow and Jennifer B. Goode will delve into the key differences between common law and community property jurisdictions, explore strategies for clients who relocate from one such jurisdiction to the other, and examine the effects of marital law on irrevocable trusts created during marriage by one or both spouses. Because tax implications can last forever – even if your client’s marriage doesn’t!
