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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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. With clarified language, the book is also accessible to the general public interested in learning more about this complex topic." -publisher's 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…

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 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.

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.
