Secure Your Clients for Generations

Whether you’re a new or experienced estate planner, ensure your clients are set for years to come. Get invaluable advice from 28 local and national experts. Ellen K. Harrison walks you through purpose trusts and Edwin P. Morrow, III, helps you adjust client strategies no matter what happens with the federal estate tax exemption.

In a live Q&A, get your EPIC Omnibus and MTC questions answered by an all-star panel and see how EPIC has evolved over the last 25 years. Apply lessons learned from the CTA’s January 1, 2025, filing deadline.

  • Plan now for possible sunsetting of the TCJA—will everyone go back to A/B trusts?

  • Participate in a live Q&A on EPIC Omnibus, the Michigan Trust Code (MTC), and more
