This basic level seminar is perfect for those who wish to launch an estate planning practice or freshen up your knowledge or skills in this challenging discipline.  It is also one of the ten SC Bar CLE-sponsored “Essentials Series” courses for newly admitted practitioners.  This full day program, planned by Scott Hutto and Patricia Scarborough, features experienced estate planning practitioners whose goal is to provide you with practical advice on how to evaluate and handle wills and trusts, create effective estate plans for your clients, and navigate the potential substantive, procedural and ethical pitfalls common to an estate planning practice.

SC Supreme Commission on CLE Course # 246645E

This seminar is a basic level program.

 

For those required to take South Carolina Bar CLE “Essentials Series.”

 

Pursuant to SCACR Rule 408(a)(3), newly admitted members are required, unless you fall within one or more of the exemptions outlined in Rule 408 (a)(3)(A)-(D), to complete one (not all) of the SC Bar CLE “Essentials Series” courses. Attendance at Essentials Courses not only meets the Essentials requirement, but also counts toward your required annual 14 hours of MCLE. No other CLE course, workshop, video series (i.e., the Supreme Court’s Course of Study), or bootcamp will satisfy this requirement.

 

The “Essentials Series” is comprised of 10 full-day courses, which cover major practice areas, as well as legal ethics. Each course is designed and taught by experienced practitioners, are process oriented, and are specifically designed to provide step-by-step teaching, as well as the opportunity to interact with the faculty.

 

All essentials’ programs will be held live at the SC Bar Conference Center, Columbia.

 

Programs will not be available via live webinar.

Lunch will be provided for those attending in-person.

In-person attendees will be offered discounts on SC Bar CLE publications.
