Drafting Estate Plans for Beginners

· 6:00 PM40 Wall Street, 49th Floor, New York, NY

Presented by Stephen A. Bonfa, LLM

A free 1.0-credit CLE for attorneys ready to add estate planning to their practice — or sharpen the fundamentals. Presented by Stephen A. Bonfa, LLM, in person at 40 Wall Street and streamed online.

This session covers the essential building blocks of estate planning: wills, trusts, tax strategy, asset protection, powers of attorney, and the practical systems that turn theory into a working practice.

Most CLEs give you an hour of theory and send you on your way. This one is different — you leave with real, usable materials you can put to work the same week.

What you'll walk away with

  • Citations for everything discussed, ready for your research files
  • A sample estate intake form
  • Sample provisions for supplemental needs trusts, drug and alcohol clauses, and IRA proceeds
  • Sample grantor trust provisions
  • Rev. Rul. 2023-2
  • A sample spousal representation clause for your retainer
  • Proven questions to elicit estate planning conversations with clients
