James L. Cunningham, Jr., the founder and lead attorney of the 12-office, estate, trust, and tax planning firm, CunninghamLegal, and author of Savvy Estate Planning, recently presented to ABL-Tech's West L.A. Round Table. His highly regarded presentation is now available to view on-demand by ABL Members.

This presentation, and the others that are available on the Members Only website, were presented at ABL's confidential meetings and are meant to be viewed by ABL Members only.
The major takeaway for many of us from Jim's presentation was run don't walk to your "A-Team" of Estate Planner-Tax Accountant-Insurance agent to adjust your "Tax & Estate plans" ASAP, because with all the changes afoot in Washington, 12/31/21 will be too late.
