September 10: Webcast - Deadly Dabbling: Ensuring Expertise and Staying Out of the Danger Zone

However, his legal issue happens to be a tax issue, and you typically practice family law. Stop! You’re being tempted to dabble, and it may not be the best decision for either you or your friend. Learn about the pitfalls of dabbling during this 60-minute webinar with speakers, Richard Reynolds, J.D. and Sally Field, J.D.

September 9: Seattle - Elder Law: The Intersection of Family Law and Bankruptcy

As estate tax exemptions continue to increase, the threat facing estates of most retirees is not estate taxes – it is uncovered long-term care and medical costs, which threaten to bankrupt many estates. Medicare and health insurance do not cover such long-term care costs, placing estates at significant risk of having to spend down their estates before qualifying for benefits under the government program. Understanding these rules can help individuals plan and protect these assets from the Long Term Care costs.
This presentation will cover how people need to plan differently today in order to: (i) protect their assets; (ii) plan for a better housing solution; and (iii) not become a burden on their family and loved ones. You will learn how coordination of healthcare, housing, financial and legal solutions can secure better and efficient retirement for all of us.

September 10: Cleveland - A Century of Community Foundations: The Evolution and Future of an American Philanthropic Innovation

From its origins in the Cleveland Foundation a century ago, the community foundation has been the greatest innovation of American philanthropy. Now numbering well over 700 community foundations and counting, American community philanthropy has contributed in important ways to strengthening the fabric of American society and American institutions. But today, as community foundations enter a second century, they are faced with major challenges. Continued impressive growth in the U.S. -- particularly for smaller community foundations -- is highly uncertain, and attempts to spark the growth of community foundations abroad have met with significant problems. On the hundredth anniversary of the community foundation movement that had its start in Cleveland, this lecture explores the past and future of this uniquely American institution..
