PLANNING FOR TAX LAW CHANGES FOR 2013 AND BEYOND
Thursday, March 7, 2013
7:30 – 9:00 A.M.
at Samuels Yoelin Kantor LLP offices
Light refreshments will be served
Presented by Glen Goland and Valerie Sasaki
Congress changed estate and income tax calculations dramatically when they passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act on December 33, 2012. The new legislation has given us some stability, as the new rates and tables are about as permanent as things get when dealing with our Congress. We will talk about these changes and discuss the impact the new tax structure has on the families and businesses that we advise.
Glen Goland utilizes his years of experience in the financial and legal sectors to create estate plans that work for his clients and efficiently administer trusts and estates. Valerie Sasaki specializes in jurisdictional tax consulting, working closely with Fortune 50 companies involved in audits before the Oregon or Washington Departments of Revenue.

LITIGATING CONTESTED GUARDIANSHIPS
Thursday, March 21, 2013
7:30 – 9:00 A.M.
at Samuels Yoelin Kantor LLP offices
Light refreshments will be served
Presented by Victoria Blachly and Denise Gorrell
Guardianships are designed to protect those that cannot protect themselves. Two of our experienced fiduciary litigators, Victoria Blachly and Denise Gorrell, will discuss how trial attorneys balance the need to protect legal and civil rights with the need to protect impaired persons from harm. If you work with elderly clients or have aging family members, then this seminar will provide valuable information about evaluating potential guardianships, and how a fiduciary litigator prepares for a contested guardianship hearing. Learn about ideas for practical resolutions and the complexities that can develop when mental health and family conflict clash in the courtroom.
Victoria Blachly’s litigation experience focuses on fiduciary litigation for individual trustees, corporate trustees, beneficiaries, and personal representatives, including trust and estate litigation, will contests, trust disputes, undue influence, capacity cases, claims of fiduciary breach, financial elder abuse cases, petitioning for court instructions, and contested guardianship and conservatorship cases. Denise Gorrell focuses on real property and commercial law, as well fiduciary litigation. She frequently represents clients on real estate disputes, business dissolution, and trust contests.
