Experience the pinnacle event of the summer as the 44th Annual Estate Planning Retreat returns to the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains. This retreat is a must-attend for trust and estate practitioners, those contemplating broadening their practice to encompass estate planning and administration, and professionals engaged in ancillary practices and professions.
 
Building upon the impactful discussions of last year's event, this year's Estate Planning Retreat continues the dialogue initiated by Terrence Franklin, who challenged us to consider our contributions to improving the lives of those around us and future generations. Delve into these vital questions with this year's keynote address focusing on fostering equal partnership within Colorado's legal community, complemented by breakout sessions designed to cultivate a more inclusive approach to estate planning and litigation practice.
 
For in-person attendees, choose from 12 different breakout sessions, designed specifically for planners, litigators, and newcomers alike, including:
 
  • ChatGPT, Please Tell Me My Ethical Duties: The Shifting Paradigms of Professional Judgment With Generative AI and Outsourced Estate Planning
  • Six Months into the CTA: A Collaborative Discussion of Lessons Learned, Best Practices, Shared Experiences and Unanswered Questions for Trusts and Estates
  • Trier of Fact: Exploring Unanswered Questions of Law Through Colorado's New Pattern Civil Jury Instructions on Wills
 
Popular breakout sessions fill up fast. Secure your spot today for these immersive, interactive, in-person sessions!
 
A limited agenda is available for webinar participants.
 
For all, the virtual recordings will be available after the conference in your CLE dashboard.
