Estate Planning for Consultants

Warren Vogel, Esq.

Abstract: 
Regardless of whether the current Federal estate tax structure remains as is, with a $5,000,000 per person exemption, or changes either to increase or decrease that exemption, everyone, and particularly anyone with a family, needs to have in place basic estate documents to assure that one’s accumulated wealth transfers in accordance with one’s intentions.  Typically, those estate-planning documents include a will, a trust, a power of attorney and a living will.  We will be reviewing those basic documents to understand how they coordinate and will discuss some of the issues to be considered in putting into place a well-planned estate plan.

Biography:
Warren Vogel, a partner with Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, has been representing closely-held businesses and their owners for most of his 38 years of practicing law.  Of primary concern is assuring that the family wealth that has been accumulated is distributed to, and/or for the benefit of, designated beneficiaries in a manner consistent with the family’s intentions.  This involves tax planning as well as the preparation of documents that completely and accurately reflect the estate plan.  Warren has lectured on various topics in estate and business planning and has been selected for inclusion in, among other things, Pennsylvania Super Lawyers; Marquis Who’s Who in America; Marquis Who’s Who in American Law; Five Star: Best in Client Satisfaction Wealth Manager; and Philadelpha SmartCEO’s Legal Elite.
