CHICAGO, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Members of the media are invited to hear Lewis Dymond, Jr., JD and Thomas Ray, Jr., JD, founders and principals of WealthCounsel, LLC, present on one of the hottest public policy issues facing the country today. With only four months remaining in 2010 and still no action by Congress, attorneys and their clients are uncertain how to plan for the heirs left behind and what techniques and strategies should be avoided or delayed. Coming on the heels of the highly-publicized death of George Steinbrenner, attorneys also want to know what they should be doing for the estates of individuals who have died during 2010 when the estate tax became dormant for one year period.

What:

Opportunity for the media to conduct interviews of the speakers following the presentation and/or to conduct on the spot interviews with attendees. Journalists will gain an inside look at this issue and walk away with a deeper understanding of the challenges it is presenting for many families, businesses, and family farms. This symposium presentation will address how attorneys can deal with the uncertainty surrounding the expiration of the federal estate tax in 2010 and its return on January 1, 2011 with a $1 million exemption per person unless Congress takes action before the end of this year.

Who:

More than 400 estate planning attorneys from throughout the country will gather at this event in Chicago to learn what opportunities and techniques are available in this unique and challenging estate tax environment.

When:

8:45 a.m. – 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Where:

Hilton Chicago Hotel, 720 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60605 http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/CHICHHH-Hilton-Chicago-Illinois/index.do
