The Anne Arundel Estate Planning Council announces its 2016 Team Building and Collaboration Project
In the past, members have repeatedly requested programs and opportunities to meet and to learn how to collaborate with other estate planning professionals on estate planning projects. In response, the Anne Arundel Estate Planning Council is pleased to announce its 2016 Team Building and Collaboration Project.
Project Goal:
To build multi-discipline estate planning teams, to learn by experience how to collaborate on estate planning projects with other professionals, and to learn how best to communicate estate plans to clients in differing walks of life
How to Participate:
Assemble a team that will together plan for the growth and transmission to family members of the estates of a married couple under three sets of assumed facts:
• A married couple with assets totaling less than $1,000,000;
• A married couple with assets totaling approximately $7,000,000; or
• A married couple with assets totaling approximately $13,000,000
Each team should be comprised of at least 3 members including AAEPC members from multiple professional disciplines (e.g., an attorney, a CFP, and an insurance professional or a CFP, an accountant, and an insurance professional).
When your team is assembled, please register your team with the Project Monitor, Rich Wright, at RWright@thewrightfirm.alchemidesign.com or (410) 224-7800.
Facts for each scenario will be designed by the AAEPC Executive Committee with an eye toward including the expertise of all types of represented member professionals.
Each assembled team will choose which of these scenarios they wish to address.
Intended Product:
An effective presentation of your team’s estate plan as you would do so to clients who are not avid readers PowerPoints and diagrams are encouraged. Extended written text is not. The goal here will be to teach all viewers how best to present a proposed estate plan.
