Your Estate Plan - Where to Start

Join Debby Cochran and Steven Sigsbury, Cochran Law Group, for an informative discussion on what you need to know about estate planning. Learn about the critical estate planning documents you will want to have in place to protect you, your assets, your family, avoid probate, and reduce taxes. We  discussed more sophisticated tax strategies to preserve more of your wealth for your family and/or favorite charities. Topics will include recent developments in tax and estate planning, asset protection, proper asset titling, how to protect your children’s inheritance, generation-skipping planning, and the impact the SECURE Act may have on your estate plan.
