INTRODUCTION
back to 2002 Table of Contents

As we have done in January for the last five years, and again with the permission of the University of Miami School of Law Center for Continuing Legal Education, we will be posting to this list throughout the coming week highlights of the proceedings of the 36th Annual Philip E. Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning that is being held January 7-11, 2002 at the Fontainebleau Hilton Resort and Towers in Miami Beach, Florida.

Our on-site local reporters there in Miami this year will include:

Stephan R. Leimberg Esq. of Bryn Mawr, PA - Steve@leimbergservices.com Bruce Stone Esq. of Miami, FL - BruceStone@aol.com Theodore B. Atlass Esq. of Denver, CO - TAtlass@atlass.com as well as others yet TBD

We also will be posting the full text of this year's Reports on the ABA RPPT Section's Web site, as we did last year  All the Reports from last year's 35th 2001 Institute are posted there now, at URL http://www.abanet.org/rppt/meetings_cle/meetings_cle/heckerling/home.html In addition, each Report can also be accessed at any time from the ABA-PTL Discussion List's Web-based Archive at URL http://mail.abanet.org/archives/aba-ptl.html

=================
Again this year a complete listing of the proceedings and speakers is available on the Institute's Web site.  The URL for that site is http://www.law.miami.edu/heckerling For those of you without access to the Web, here are the core parts of the schedule:

SCOPE:

The "Miami Institute" is widely recognized as the premier estate planning program in the country. It is designed for sophisticated attorneys, trust officers, accountants, insurance and financial planners who, through years of experience and practice, are familiar with the principles of estate planning. The Institute offers something of interest to every member of the estate planning team.

A recent developments panel on Monday afternoon, featuring three of the nation's foremost estate planning experts, kicks off the Institute and will guide us through last year's developments on the tax front.

Tuesday's program features the beginning of the Institute's general session lectures.  These lectures, which run through Friday noon, provide in-depth analysis of topics of timely interest to experienced estate planners, and are presented by some of the nation's leading estate planning authorities.

On Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, the Institute offers a wide variety of workshops and panel discussions, including case studies that will illustrate and provide practical guidance on how to implement sophisticated estate planning techniques.

Finally, this year's Institute once again includes the popular Fundamentals Programs. The first two fundamentals sessions will provide a thorough review of two topics central to the estate planning process: planning for the orderly devolution of the closely held business, and what every estate planner should know about the securities laws. The final session will explore basic estate planning for non-U.S. persons and U.S. persons with foreign connections.

Because of the scope and quality of its educational programming, the Institute has grown to be the largest meeting of estate planning professionals in the country, with a record number of over 2,500 individuals from around the nation in attendance. As the regular attendees know, this concentration of talent has led the Institute to have some of the better characteristics of a national convention of estate planners. The week long program provides the opportunity to exchange ideas, to network, and to review the latest in technology, products, and services displayed by over 100 vendors in an exhibit hall dedicated entirely to the estate planning industry. We invite those of you who have never attended this program, or who have been absent in recent years, to join us in Miami Beach January 7 - 11, 2002, to take advantage of this unique event.
