SPEAKER: Joni Ackerman, an attorney who has been in practice 20 years, is a certified specialist in estate planning, trusts & probate, and recently opened an office at 200 Pier Ave (part of Greg R's office) discussed changes in federal estate taxes, generation skipping taxes, costs of probate, benefits of living trusts, charitable trusts and deductions, tax pitfalls of IRA's if not properly planned, irrevocable life insurance trusts, benefits of holding property as community property rather than joint tenants. Make sure you see an experienced estate planning attorney and don't be taken in by cheap trust mills.		HAPPY/SADS. Mike & Cathy Schubach H/S re retiring 9/2 and moving to Palm Springs.
