section update Estate Planning & Probate Section Update By Loraine M. DiSalvo Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C. [email protected] O n November 14, 2012, our Section welcomed Edward Miller, a writing coach of great experience and humor, to our monthly breakfast meeting. Mr. Miller gave us a lesson in “Writing Skills for the Estate Planning Lawyer,” although, as he noted, they were really skills everyone who writes can use. Breakfast attendees left both amused and with many practical tips. For our December 12, 2012, breakfast meeting, we heard from Andrew S. Auchincloss of Bernstein Global Wealth Management. Mr. Auchincloss, a well-known expert on estate planning and tax related issues, gave us his post-election The Official News Publication of the Atlanta Bar Association predictions for the future of the tax and estate planning related laws. The Section also has a number of events scheduled for 2013. We will continue to have our monthly breakfast meetings on the second Wednesday of each month. In addition, we have scheduled some less-educational events. These include a joint social with the Family Law Section which is scheduled for January 24, 2013, and a social with the Financial Planning Association’s local members which is scheduled for March 21, 2013. Please watch the Bar’s calendar for further updates. ■ December 2012 THE ATLANTA LAWYER 23
