VIRTUAL ASSETS
WEDNESDAY JUNE 1, 2011, 12 NOON – 1:30 P.M.
Presented by Victoria D. Blachly and Michael D. Walker, P.C.
Virtual assets include emails, digital images, electronic financial statements, social media accounts, web sites, and e‐banking related accounts, among others. Many of these assets are assets that are generally transferred through a client’s will or trust.
As more of our population goes online, we have seen a rising number of cases surrounding the use (and abuse) of these assets.
This seminar will outline the policies employed by some common email and media providers, talk about where these assets fit in our clients’ estate plans and point out some specific areas of concern. We will conclude by talking about the pros and cons of some of the different “online vaults” that are available to clients.
ASSET PROTECTION
WEDNESDAY JUNE 8, 2011, 12 NOON – 1:30 P.M.
Presented by Edward "Ted" L. Simpson
The legal landscape across which creditors chase debtors is ever changing. What worked 10 years ago does not necessarily work today.
This has resulted in three categories of asset protection strategies: those that are readily identifiable and either do or do not work according to established law; those that are promoted as asset protection strategies, but about which the law is not settled; and those that are new and unique, have not been identified as asset protection strategies, and which have not been the subject of studied attempts to pierce. In this seminar we will take a thoughtful and practical look at how asset protection planning is approached and how strategies are developed, both broadly and in specific situations.
INCLUDING PETS IN YOUR ESTATE PLAN
WEDNESDAY JUNE 29, 2011, 12 NOON – 1:30 P.M.
Presented by Glen Goland
This seminar will discuss Oregon’s long history on the forefront of animal rights and will cover the short and long‐term questions that pet owners should consider when preparing their estate plans.
