Key Aspects of Estate Planning for Family Business Owners to be Examined at Upcoming ALI CLE Conference

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education (ALI CLE) has announced that Estate Planning for the Family Business Owner will be held on November 2 - 3, 2017 in Charleston, South Carolina. This nationally recognized program is the course to attend for expert analyses of all key aspects of succession planning for family businesses.

Estate Planning for the Family Business Owner will feature a well-regarded faculty composed of some of the most experienced, prolific, and talented practitioners in estate planning, tax, insurance, and employee benefits. These experts will offer the latest techniques in succession planning and advanced strategies to recognize and evaluate family business issues. This year's program will highlight the significant concerns regarding IRC § 2036 estate inclusion, as well as important cases affecting S corporation owner compensation and LLC self-employment tax.

Other current topics to be addressed at the conference will include:

• Family dynamics and how estate and succession plans can affect them
• The litigation "alternative" in successor generation family rivalries that are unresolvable
• Planning for the possibility of tax reform and repeal of the estate tax
• Valuing an equity interest in a family business

"In counseling a business owner, one needs to be aware of how income tax issues and important developments in FICA and self-employment tax affect business structuring; how to incentivize key employees; how the business can transition ownership to the next generation; how to try to keep a business together or, if necessary, manage a business' split-up and navigate intrafamily litigation; and how to avoid estate tax," said Planning Co-Chair, Steve Gorin. "With nationally-known speakers addressing all of these issues, this program is a must for estate planners who represent family business owners."
