The Iowa Trust Association’s popular Will and Trust forms book has now been updated for 2007 by the law firm of Schiff Hardin & Waite in Chicago . The Table of Contents has been enclosed for you to see the multiple forms and clauses that are included in the forms manual.

Don’t pass up the chance at over 36 different Will, Trust and Estate and Charitable Planning Forms and commentary. Each form may be edited to meet your specific needs. The forms range from the very simple Will/Trust to the more complex forms. There are 125 different special powers and provisions that can be used to tailor the document to your client’s situation. The added provisions range from farm manager designation clauses to the allocation of S corporation stock.

With so much uncertainty still surrounding the estate planning process and the ever-increasing estate and gift tax credit and exclusion amounts, help may be found in the article on “Ramifications of the Phase Out of the Federal State Death Tax Credit” which sets forth some of the problems this will present for both estates and states.

Orders are now being taken for the updated disks. Included is a disk in both MS Word and WordPerfect formats. The entire book is available on the CD, both with the editable forms and a .pdf version of the forms with commentary that cannot be edited. You may print out the forms and commentary at your leisure for the most useful forms. Please fill out the order form included in this mailing and send it to the address listed. If you have any questions, please contact Darcy Burnett at 800-800-2353.
