The Augmented Estate Election: Making Sense (Cents) and Dollars - In-Person
The augmented estate election is not an automatic spousal inheritance right. Many times, it will fail under the particular facts involved. When should counsel for a surviving spouse consider the spousal elective share and make the augmented estate election?
This seminar will cover various considerations and real-world mathematical models germane to the augmented estate election under C.R.S. ยง15-11-201 et seq., including the circumstances and length of the marriage, the economics of the decedent’s and the surviving spouse’s assets, the nature and original location of assets and governing law, and the psychological implications of the asset disclosure requirements.
Join well-established and respected Trust and Estate attorneys, Susan R. Harris, Esq. (2021 R. Sterling Ambler Award winner), and Barbara Tocker Ross, J.D., LL.M., as they review these complex Colorado Probate Code provisions. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your expertise in this area with practical insights from these attorneys. Bring your questions!
