Seminar on May 16th – “After the Storm: How Have Recent Tax Changes Affected Estate Planning and Real Estate Investments?”

2012 was the “perfect storm” as major tax changes loomed on the horizon. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and the 3.8% tax on investment income added as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act have changed the way we plan. This program will explore these changes and strategies available to plan under this new regime.

The program will feature three speakers from Dean Mead:
