Jennifer Shirkey has been requested to make two separate presentations at the national Annual Meeting of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) in March. One of her sessions will be a panel presentation to the full conference attendance on estate planning for retirement accounts in light of significant changes made by the landmark SECURE Act and SECURE Act 2.0 legislation passed by Congress in recent years. Her other session will be a presentation at the conference’s Fiduciary Income Tax Committee meeting regarding income in respect of a decedent (IRD) tax matters that affect trust and estate beneficiaries.
