Thursday Institute: 8 am - 5:30 pm (includes lunch)

The Gift, Estate & Trust Section of the Christian Legal Society is pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Institute for Christian Gift Planning. The Institute is designed for Christian attorneys who are interested in gift and estate planning with a Christ-centered worldview. The Institute will provide CLE credit, including an ethics hour, and will feature a variety of trust and estate gift planning and stewardship presentations for both basic and advanced levels.

The Institute topics will include: 1) Current Developments and Case Studies in Charitable Planned Giving; 2) Non-CRUT Alternatives for Deffered Capital Gain; 3) Current Issues in Life Insurance - Including Charitable Solutions; 4) Zero Tax Estate Planning for the Modern Steward; 5) Basics of Charitable Trust Planning; 6) Advanced Charitable Trust Strategies; 7) Ethical Considerations in Advanced Medical Directives & End of Life Issues from a Christian Perspective.

In addition to providing legal training, the Institute will offer information on the Gift, Estate & Trust Section of the Christian Legal Society. In creating this section, the co-sponsors, CLS and National Christian Foundation, are responding to a growing need expressed by Christian ministries, churches and others for help in identifying technically competent, Christian planning counsel. This section provides ongoing fellowship and professional services for its members, as well as an opportunity for referral by Christian organizations to those seeking planning services in your area.
