Waiting to address long-term care needs until the point one actually needs care is too late, as it significantly impacts a client's financial situation, quality of life of their loved ones, and their ability to maintain their independence. Incorporating long-term care insurance into the financial plan can ultimately help protect assets reduce the burden of care that would otherwise fall on family members, and enable the client to receive care in the setting they most prefer, including their home. The Advisor's Guide to Long-Term Care looks at the full range of the topic, explaining how to best use it in the estate plan as a prudent risk-management choice. Statistics point to the high probability that people are likely to need extended health care at some point in their life. The Advisor's Guide to Long-Term Care is intended to help estate planners and advisors to address these issues with their clients, establishing the issues and trends for care and covering all relevant issues invol…

By Fader, Eric. American Bar Association. ;2020-09. 2020.
The Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) was first enacted through the Social Security Amendments of 1972 in order to combat fraud and abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid Programs. The purpose of the AKS is to remove the corrupting effects of kickbacks in health care by, among other things, outlawing behavior designed to game the system through the use of financial incentives intended to direct patient referrals to particular health care providers and away from other providers rendering the same type of care. But not every payment or practice offends the policies underlying the statute. Beginning in 1991, the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began promulgating regulatory safe harbors to supplement the statutory exceptions passed by Congress. Safe harbors are designed to protect certain common and salutary commercial arrangements the purpose of which is not to induce referrals in violation of the AKS. The safe harbors place these arrangements beyond …

Prior to the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (MSP Act), Medicare was the primary payer (i.e., Medicare paid first) for its beneficiaries' claims with limited exceptions—such as situations where claims were covered by workers' compensation. As you read this book you will see how Medicare and Medicaid laws have evolved over the past several decades. The majority of the book explains Medicare's secondary payer recovery rights under Medicare Parts A and B, "traditional Medicare."

"The goal of The Discerning Investor is to give you the tools to prepare for retirement on your own terms. Part I lays out a conceptual framework for managing a retirement portfolio, with an emphasis on anticipating and thus avoiding mistakes such as misjudging risk. It sets out the basics of personal portfolio management and walks you through how to parse some common metrics and types of market data. Part II focuses on the "personal" part of personal portfolio management and provides a framework for developing an investment strategy to fit your particular situation. Part III covers the pros and cons of two different approaches to portfolio management: 1) retaining a firm to manage everything, or 2) managing your portfolio yourself and using a brokerage firm to execute trades. Part IV comes back to personalization and offers self-assessment tools to help you flesh out your investment strategy and move from planning to action.

This is a new edition of Inherited IRAs, originally published by ABA Publishing in 2013 and then again in 2015. It updates the content to reflect changes recently released by the Department of Labor governing all IRA accounts, including inherited IRAs. In April 2016, the US Department of Labor issued a final fiduciary rule, which significantly affects advisors who render investment advice to Individual Retirement Account owners by expanding the "investment advice fiduciary" definition under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and modifying the complex of prohibited transaction exemptions for investment activities in light of that expanded definition, which has now rendered the 2015 edition of this book obsolete. This book instructs and informs lawyers representing estates on how best to handle the laws and compliance issues surrounding their clients' investments.

"This book is intended to provide a broad overview of Social Security law and practice. It covers the two main titles of the Social Security Act: Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), with a special focus on the disability provisions of both programs.

The Seventh Edition confronts continued and, indeed, increased instability. The new instability follows a relatively short lull after a period of unprecedented instability, including since 2001, increases in exemptions, reductions in rates, the repeal and restoration of the estate tax and the generation-skipping tax, the installation of a system of portability of the unused portion of the estate tax exemption of a predeceasing spouse, the advocacy by leading politicians of repeal of the taxes and, by others, of drastic increases in the taxes and the enactment of wealth taxes, and, probably most importantly, of a worldwide plague against which individuals, groups and even nations were unable to protect themselves. Variations of techniques that have appeared in all prior editions of this book are the techniques of choice for the present environment. More than ever, flexibility is the hallmark.

Waiting to address long-term care needs until the point one actually needs care is too late, as it significantly impacts a client's financial situation, quality of life of their loved ones, and their ability to maintain their independence. Incorporating long-term care insurance into the financial plan can ultimately help protect assets reduce the burden of care that would otherwise fall on family members, and enable the client to receive care in the setting they most prefer, including their home. The Advisor's Guide to Long-Term Care looks at the full range of the topic, explaining how to best use it in the estate plan as a prudent risk-management choice. Statistics point to the high probability that people are likely to need extended health care at some point in their life. The Advisor's Guide to Long-Term Care is intended to help estate planners and advisors to address these issues with their clients, establishing the issues and trends for care and covering all relevant issues invol…

By Cline, Christopher P. American Bar Association. 2;2. 2014.
Disclaimers are governed by both state and federal law. Section 2518 introduced the term "qualified disclaimer" for federal transfer tax purposes, but has little impact on the state law of disclaimers, and does not apply to disclaimers made before 1977. For those earlier disclaimers (which will be fairly rare) the tax law that applies involves a tangle of historical decisions, rulings and regulations. All of this requires that the first thing a practitioner must do when determining whether a disclaimer is appropriate is to determine which federal law applies and how state law will affect it. Disclaimers in Estate Planning by Christopher P. Cline assists the estate planner in making those determinations, understanding the applicable Uniform Acts involved and the specific issues raised by Section 2518, and creating the best strategies and techniques for effectively utilizing disclaimers. Topics covered include: • State disclaimer laws • Federal tax law…

Estate planning is more than deciding how an estate will be divided post-mortem. Sure that is a part of it, but the other part is....life planning. The key is honing in on the best way to protect your clients' interests during their lifetime. When the ABA released the second edition of this book in 2012, a mere six jurisdictions recognized marriage equality. What a difference a day makes...this third edition follows hard on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. The court decided that "marriage is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, couples of the same-sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty." What seemed an impossible pipe dream at the turn of the century is now a reality. From now on there is no "same-sex marriage" or "opposite-sex marriage"; there is only marriage. Marriage is just part of the equation. It is the beginning not the…

Planning a client's estate can involve more than just the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next. To draft a customized plan that achieves a client's unique goals, an estate-planning practitioner must understand the client's values and convictions and, in many cases, his or her religious beliefs. For many clients, passing on these beliefs and traditions is just as important as, if not more important than, the distribution of assets. Estate Planning for the Muslim Client provides insights, information, and practical planning solutions for clients who wish to adhere to a set of classical religious obligations while recognizing the practicalities of daily life in America. The authors highlight various planning opportunities and identify the most common issues that arise when planning for a Muslim client. Topics include: Meeting the Muslim client and understanding the pillars of their faith Ethical, legal, and public policy issues Estate planning during life Planning for inc…

"Take the proper legal steps to define and protect your relationship in the eyes of the law using the practical and legal information in this book. Even though the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in 2015, many questions remain for those same-sex couples who choose to remain unmarried and/or are registered in a civil union or domestic partnership. And parenting rights for same-sex couples still vary depending on the couple's relationship status and state laws. You'll learn about these important subjects and many more, including: domestic partner benefits; establishing parental rights, including through a second parent adoption, a stepparent adoption, a court judgement of parentage, and/or a contractual agreement; buying property together; and providing for each other upon death." - publisher description

"No matter whether you're planning to pass on a cottage to your children, or you've inherited a cabin with your siblings, it's never too early to take steps to preserve a beloved family property for generations to come. Shared ownership of vacation property-especially when the co-owners are family members-can be fraught with problems. The idyllic dream of a cottage getaway can be shattered when co-owners' emotions, financial concerns, and opinions on how the property should be used come into play. Fortunately, a solid plan that dictates how the property will be owned and managed can prevent squabbles over the family cottage. Saving the Family Cottage lays out a roadmap for creating and implementing this plan. It also explains the possible pitfalls of co-owing a family vacation property, and provides time-tested guidance on how to: keep the peace among heirs; prevent a family member from forcing a sale of the property; keep your vacation home out of the hands of in-laws and creditors, a…

It introduces wills and trust terminology to the lay audience and summarizes the law included in the Uniform Probate Code, Uniform Trust Code, Uniform Principal and Income Act, Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act, Uniform Prudent Investor Act, and the Restatement of Trusts. To illustrate legal issues this book utilizes problems arising from celebrity peccadilloes and well-known deaths, such as those of Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Prince, and the mother/daughter team of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher. The book can be adopted to supplement a traditional wills and trusts class or as the sole text for a seminar.

"Take the proper legal steps to define and protect your relationship in the eyes of the law using the practical and legal information in this book. Even though the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in 2015, many questions remain for those same-sex couples who choose to remain unmarried and/or are registered in a civil union or domestic partnership. And parenting rights for same-sex couples still vary depending on the couple's relationship status and state laws. You'll learn about these important subjects and many more, including: domestic partner benefits; establishing parental rights, including through a second parent adoption, a stepparent adoption, a court judgement of parentage, and/or a contractual agreement; buying property together; and providing for each other upon death." - publisher description

Disclaimers are governed by both state and federal law. Section 2518 introduced the term "qualified disclaimer" for federal transfer tax purposes, but has little impact on the state law of disclaimers, and does not apply to disclaimers made before 1977. For those earlier disclaimers (which will be fairly rare) the tax law that applies involves a tangle of historical decisions, rulings and regulations. All of this requires that the first thing a practitioner must do when determining whether a disclaimer is appropriate is to determine which federal law applies and how state law will affect it. Disclaimers in Estate Planning by Christopher P. Cline assists the estate planner in making those determinations, understanding the applicable Uniform Acts involved and the specific issues raised by Section 2518, and creating the best strategies and techniques for effectively utilizing disclaimers. Topics covered include: • State disclaimer laws • Federal tax law…

Beginning in 1997, when Alaska established the first trust to protect the trust assets from the settlor's credits, DAPTs have become a key part of the estate planner's options to help clients protect their assets.

Estate planning is more than deciding how an estate will be divided post-mortem. Sure that is a part of it, but the other part is....life planning. The key is honing in on the best way to protect your clients' interests during their lifetime. When the ABA released the second edition of this book in 2012, a mere six jurisdictions recognized marriage equality. What a difference a day makes...this third edition follows hard on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. The court decided that "marriage is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, couples of the same-sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty." What seemed an impossible pipe dream at the turn of the century is now a reality. From now on there is no "same-sex marriage" or "opposite-sex marriage"; there is only marriage. Marriage is just part of the equation. It is the beginning not the…

Planning a client's estate can involve more than just the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next. To draft a customized plan that achieves a client's unique goals, an estate-planning practitioner must understand the client's values and convictions and, in many cases, his or her religious beliefs. For many clients, passing on these beliefs and traditions is just as important as, if not more important than, the distribution of assets. Estate Planning for the Muslim Client provides insights, information, and practical planning solutions for clients who wish to adhere to a set of classical religious obligations while recognizing the practicalities of daily life in America. The authors highlight various planning opportunities and identify the most common issues that arise when planning for a Muslim client. Topics include: Meeting the Muslim client and understanding the pillars of their faith Ethical, legal, and public policy issues Estate planning during life Planning for inc…

The new instability follows a relatively short lull after a period of unprecedented instability, including since 2001, increases in exemptions, reductions in rates, the repeal and restoration of the estate tax and the generation-skipping tax, the installation of a system of portability of the unused portion of the estate tax exemption of a predeceasing spouse, the advocacy by leading politicians of repeal of the taxes and, by others, of drastic increases in the taxes and the enactment of wealth taxes, and, probably most importantly, of a worldwide plague against which individuals, groups and even nations were unable to protect themselves. Variations of techniques that have appeared in all prior editions of this book are the techniques of choice for the present environment. More than ever, flexibility is the hallmark.

This is a new edition of Inherited IRAs, originally published by ABA Publishing in 2013 and then again in 2015. It updates the content to reflect changes recently released by the Department of Labor governing all IRA accounts, including inherited IRAs. In April 2016, the US Department of Labor issued a final fiduciary rule, which significantly affects advisors who render investment advice to Individual Retirement Account owners by expanding the "investment advice fiduciary" definition under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and modifying the complex of prohibited transaction exemptions for investment activities in light of that expanded definition, which has now rendered the 2015 edition of this book obsolete. This book instructs and informs lawyers representing estates on how best to handle the laws and compliance issues surrounding their clients' investments.

"No matter whether you're planning to pass on a cottage to your children, or you've inherited a cabin with your siblings, it's never too early to take steps to preserve a beloved family property for generations to come. Shared ownership of vacation property-especially when the co-owners are family members-can be fraught with problems. The idyllic dream of a cottage getaway can be shattered when co-owners' emotions, financial concerns, and opinions on how the property should be used come into play. Fortunately, a solid plan that dictates how the property will be owned and managed can prevent squabbles over the family cottage. Saving the Family Cottage lays out a roadmap for creating and implementing this plan. It also explains the possible pitfalls of co-owing a family vacation property, and provides time-tested guidance on how to: keep the peace among heirs; prevent a family member from forcing a sale of the property; keep your vacation home out of the hands of in-laws and creditors, a…

Incorporating long-term care insurance into the financial plan can ultimately help protect assets reduce the burden of care that would otherwise fall on family members, and enable the client to receive care in the setting they most prefer, including their home. The Advisor's Guide to Long-Term Care looks at the full range of the topic, explaining how to best use it in the estate plan as a prudent risk-management choice. Statistics point to the high probability that people are likely to need extended health care at some point in their life.

"The goal of The Discerning Investor is to give you the tools to prepare for retirement on your own terms. Part I lays out a conceptual framework for managing a retirement portfolio, with an emphasis on anticipating and thus avoiding mistakes such as misjudging risk. It sets out the basics of personal portfolio management and walks you through how to parse some common metrics and types of market data. Part II focuses on the "personal" part of personal portfolio management and provides a framework for developing an investment strategy to fit your particular situation. Part III covers the pros and cons of two different approaches to portfolio management: 1) retaining a firm to manage everything, or 2) managing your portfolio yourself and using a brokerage firm to execute trades.

But not every payment or practice offends the policies underlying the statute. Beginning in 1991, the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began promulgating regulatory safe harbors to supplement the statutory exceptions passed by Congress. Safe harbors are designed to protect certain common and salutary commercial arrangements the purpose of which is not to induce referrals in violation of the AKS.
