Data Trace Publishes Pennsylvania Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts Library: Forms and Practice Manual
Baltimore, MD – September 2, 2007. Attorney Patti S. Spencer has authored a book entitled Pennsylvania Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts Library: Forms and Practice Manual. The work, a practical forms and practice manual for practitioners familiar with the essentials of estate planning and taxation, published in September 2007 and is available through Data Trace Publishing Company.
The forms in Pennsylvania Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts Library: Forms and Practice Manual are indexed and organized to provide the reader with easy access to the appropriate form to use based upon the client’s personal and financial circumstances and dispositive objectives. Commentary guides the practitioner regarding when a particular form should be employed and the tax consequences of a particular dispositive structure. The work, which can be used as a desktop reference, features wills and trusts ranging from the most simple (simple wills or revocable living trusts without tax planning) to the most complex (wills and revocable trusts with generation-skipping provisions). A companion CD-ROM contains the wide-ranging collection of forms included in the manual and annual updates ensure that the most recent material is included. Practical applications that are addressed in the book include:
- A client estate planning questionnaire
- The use of revocable trusts, including companion pour-over wills
- Strategies for irrevocable trusts, such as irrevocable life insurance trusts, trusts for minors, trusts for subchapter S stock, retained interest trusts, and special needs trusts
- Key aspects of federal estate and Pennsylvania law and the impact of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax
