Some 900 estate planners will converge on Seattle to discuss hot topics from social media to terrorism financing at the 59th annual Estate Planning Seminar, hosted by the Estate Planning Council of Seattle and the Washington State Bar Association, and presented in cooperation with the Alaska Bar Association.
These lawyers, accountants, insurance professionals, trust officers, financial planners, and planned giving/development officers for nonprofit organizations will come from throughout the state and elsewhere to meet at this nationally recognized event, to be held at the Washington State Convention Center, 800 Convention Place, Seattle.
One of this year's hot topics involves the role of lawyers in combating money laundering and terrorist financing, led by the international Financial Action Task Force on money laundering. This organization works to engage lawyers in the war against money laundering and terrorist financing. It has helped support legislation and regulation in many countries requiring lawyers to conduct formal and detailed client intake processes, and to report to government authorities when they suspect clients of seeking to launder the proceeds of crime - without tipping off their clients. Despite efforts by Congress, the White House and the U.S. Treasury Department to advance such legislation and regulation, these international norms have not become law in the United States. Lawyers who attend this event will get a full briefing on these efforts and the efforts by bar organizations to respond to the real consequences of money laundering and terrorist financing.
Other hot topics to be covered include details about the 3.8 percent Medicare surtax, the latest on end-of-life directives, keeping current with social media tools, and an update on the federal estate tax.
Speakers will also explore the areas of wealth succession planning and the use of trusts.
