9TH ANNUAL INSTITUTE ON
TAX, ESTATE PLANNING AND THE WORLD ECONOMY
 
FEBRUARY 3-4, 2020, FASHION ISLAND HOTEL
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, USA
 

On behalf of the board members of the Society of Estate & Trust Practitioners Orange County, I would like to personally invite you to our 9th Annual Institute.

We have been hard at work to plan this year’s institute incorporating the best our industries have to offer. We strive to keep you abreast of the ongoing developments and how they may affect you, foster professional relationships, while also having an enjoyable few days in one of the most beautiful locations in the world.

As practitioners, we are facing an array of new changes and challenges. These changes will impact each of our industries, whether legal, accounting, fiduciary, insurance or wealth management. As advisors, we need to understand how these changes may impact our recommendations, and our businesses.

Join us as we hear from national experts providing the latest timely information and advanced planning strategies that you need to provide cutting edge recommendations, as well as adjust our businesses by turning these new challenges into opportunities.
