Wednesday, December 8, 2021

3:00pm - 4:00pm ET

Speaker: Wendy S. Goffe, JD, AEP® (Distinguished) and Kim Kamin, JD, AEP®

As the traditional nuclear family has changed because of evolving social and legal norms as well as scientific and technological developments, estate planning professionals must be prepared both for issue spotting and thoughtful problem solving with regard to issues clients face, how existing trusts are interpreted, and how new estate planning instruments can be drafted for sufficient flexibility. This discussion will touch upon a potpourri of issues to consider, including: Marital Status (single, divorced, unmarried couples and polyamorous relationships); Defining Descendants (stepchildren, adoption, nonmarital children and assisted reproductive technologies); and other forms of Diversity (disability, LGBTQIA+, religious, racial and cultural inclusion) . . . and more!

 

Wendy S. Goffe is a partner with the law firm of Stoel Rives LLP, Seattle, Washington with thirty years of experience counseling clients on estate planning issues.  Her experience includes advising clients on matters including probate and trust administration, estate and gift taxation, charitable and nonprofit trusts and corporations, family-owned business succession and issues concerning unmarried couples.  She has also worked extensively with living artists, artists’ estates and foundations, art collectors, museums and cultural organizations, and other diverse creative clients.  She has been interviewed by and written for many national publications and was previously a contributor to Forbes.com. Ms. Goffe was a member of the Executive Committee of the Estate Planning Council of Seattle.
