LEAVE A LEGACY York County is once again sponsoring Wills Week. During the week of June 6 – 12, let’s work together to highlight the importance of preparing a last will and testament and promote the idea of giving to one’s favorite charity through estate planning.

This week, make a point to include a prominent “It’s Wills Week” advisement notice in your newsletter, in your social networking outlets, or in an e-blast. Here’s some suggestions:

June 6 – 12 is Wills Week – Have you reviewed yours lately? Do you have one? (50% of your neighbors don’t!)

Unique Opportunity for Professional Advisors

lalyork — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:34:31 +0000

The York College Planned Giving Council is sponsoring a presentation by John “Buck” Chapoton on May 26, 2011 from 1:00p.m. to 2:00p.m. in the Humanities Center on the main campus of York College. Mr. Chapoton is a partner of Brown Advisory and heads its Washington, D.C. office. He is a nationally recognized tax expert and served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Policy under President Reagan. His experience in tax issues has prepared him well for providing valuable strategic advice to high net-worth clients who face complex decisions with regard to structuring and managing their assets.

Mr. Chapoton’s remarks will focus on estate planning techniques and how professional advisors and clients should be working through the uncertainty that the near future holds. This discussion will most likely include a “forecast” of what the tax-landscape will look like two years from now, and the College is excited to recruit a person who is well-connected in the nation’s capitol to provide an inside view on where legislation could be headed.

York College and its Planned Giving Council are sponsoring this event as a free service to the professional community. Please email Mark Rank, Senior Director of Principal and Planned Giving (mrank@ycp.edu), if you would like to attend. RSVP by May 7, 2011.
