FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, DC: April 1, 2020: The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) today released a 100th podcast special episode underscoring the significance of its now weekly series, ACTEC Trust and Estate Talk, launched in 2018. ACTEC podcasts offer the expertise of Fellows who provide best practice advice, insights and commentary on subjects relevant to those in the wealth management profession.

To mark the milestone, ACTEC’s Communications Committee assembled highlights from three of its most favored podcasts for the 100th podcast special: Looking Back at Our Most Popular Podcasts, featuring ACTEC Fellows Todd Angkatavanich of Hartford, Connecticut, Professor Mary Radford of Atlanta, Georgia and Nancy Welber of Farmington Hills, Michigan. The special series includes a précis of Radford’s Trachtman lecture, presented at the 2019 ACTEC annual meeting: Balancing Independence and Vulnerability of Older Adults: What if Granny Wants to Gamble?; an update on the SECURE Act and its effect on estate planning since being signed into law; and a summation of key issues to consider in 2020 relevant to planning opportunities existing under the current state of the law with the potential to change later in the year.
