Program Number: 2021

Program Date: 03/18/2010

Description

Asset protection practitioners need to be well-versed in the relevant core concepts before endeavoring to assist their clients with a plan’s design and implementation. In the first of his new 3-part series, Barry Engel provides an in-depth introduction to the conceptual design and implementation of a client’s overall integrated estate plan. Areas of discussion include:
• balancing protection with flexibility
• how much of the client’s overall estate should one set out to protect
• an overview of available integrated estate planning techniques
• whether an integrated estate planning trust (“IEPT”) should stand alone or be integrated with the client’s overall estate plan
• the trustee selection process, and whether an IEPT’s settlor(s) should act as the protector(s) of the IEPT
• a comparison of domestic trusts versus foreign trusts for both asset protection and U.S. tax purposes
• a comparative analysis of which domestic and foreign jurisdictions are more protective for asset protection purposes
• the federal and foreign tax implications of a model asset protection plan.
A model planning structure will be presented and reviewed as a case study.
