LAW7331 (Estate Planning) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Presents the three strands that make up the discipline of estate planning. Introduces key elements of relevant law: property; creditor/debtor; wills, estates, and trusts; estate and gift tax; trust income taxation; and a touch of public benefits. Next, covers the tools and key components of an estate plan such as wills, trusts, asset titling, and death beneficiary designations. These strands are then woven together with and applied to real-world, frequently encountered situations using classroom hypotheticals to study sound practice management, ethical considerations, blended family issues, and a mindset that plans for the knowable unknowns (e.g., not all potential beneficiaries may be healthy in the future, financially secure, still living, or even born yet).
