In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Estate Planning & Probate (“EP&P”) Section continues to offer its members valuable
continuing legal education opportunities through monthly CLE webinars focusing on topics ranging from probate law and estate
planning, to law firm operation, charitable giving, and related topics within the allied professions and other fields of law.

1 - On Wednesday, November 18, 2020, Theodore S. “Ted” Eittreim (Eittreim Martin Cutler, LLC) presented via webinar: “Domestic
Relations Considerations for the Trusts & Estates Practitioner: A Primer for Preventing Pitfalls in the Divorce Law World.” Eittreim
highlighted the elements of domestic law that impact estate planning, and vice versa, when dealing with clients who may be contemplating divorce or were recently divorced.
2 - On Wednesday, December 9, 2020, EP&P Section Sponsor representative Christopher V. Benner (Partner in Bennett Thrasher, LLP) presented via webinar: “I Made It Over the Wall, Now What? Worldwide Transfer Tax Issues to Consider for New U.S. Residents and Domiciliaries.” Benner discussed gift and estate tax issues for estate planners to consider when advising foreign clients moving to the U.S.

The EP&P Section Board invite Section members and other Atlanta Bar Association members to join us for the following upcoming
virtual events to kick off a new (and, hopefully, improved) 2021:

  • On Wednesday, January 13, 2021, at 12:00 PM, partner in charge Lisa Brown, CFP, CIMA (Brightworth, LLC), and wealth advisor, Christopher “Bud” Boland, CFP (Brightworth, LLC) will discuss via webinar: “Estate Planning for Busy Executives.”
  • On Wednesday, February 10, 2021, at 12:00 PM, Cara M. Coss, (Partner in Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, LLP), and Carole M. Bass (Partner in Moses & Singer, LLP), will present via webinar: “Estate Planning: Reproductive Materials and Planning Impact.”

As the public health crisis caused by COVID-19 continues to unfold, the EP&P Section stands ready to offer its members alternatives
to in-person gatherings and looks forward to working with the other Sections of the Atlanta Bar Association to offer bar members opportunities for professional development and social interaction. The EP&P Section Board wishes to thank our wonderful speakers
for their generosity in sharing their time and knowledge, our generous Section Sponsors for their loyal support, the hard-working Directors and Staff of the Atlanta Bar Association and our webinar host, ReelTime CLE, who make our programs possible, and most of
all our Section Members, who continue to make the Estate Planning & Probate Section one of the most active and vibrant Sections of the
Atlanta Bar Association. Thank you for your support of the EP&P Section!
