You want the crème de le crème working at your estate planning practice. How can you ensure that candidates really have what it takes to become great members of your team and enhance your firm? The process starts with their resumes and interviews, but it shouldn’t end there.

Some of your clients wish to leave part or all of their estate to charities dear to their hearts. Of course, this generosity also benefits donors through savings on income and estate taxes. As their estate planner, it’s your job to ensure the tools used are the most effective and tax-efficient.

Your estate planning clients depend on you to conform to all laws and minimize their tax burdens and vulnerabilities. Of course, tax laws will change over time, as will your clients’ situations, values and needs. So estate planning is never really “done done.” Instead, the process is effectively fluid until your client’s death.
