Course Description

When a U.S. taxpayer fails to file the FBAR or another informational report, the consequences can be severe, depending in part on the taxpayer’s intent. For example, if the IRS makes a finding of willfulness, the civil penalties can be half of the unreported assets. In this webinar, we will review the different standards of willfulness and nonwillfulness, and we will discuss recent cases involving U.S. taxpayers who failed to disclose their foreign assets.

Estate planning is a serious matter encompassing many areas that affect our lives and the lives of the generations that follow. To ensure that your estate plan accomplishes your goals, both now and in the future, it is critical that you choose a law firm with experience in the practice of trusts and estates law, a thorough knowledge of all aspects of estate planning, a strong reputation, and the longevity to be there for not only you but also the next generation. These attributes come from years of solid practice in the trusts and estates field, a commitment to education, and strong relationships with clients. Our firm was established in Boston over thirty years ago. Since that time, Bove & Langa has earned a reputation as one of the most respected trusts and estates law firms in the Northeast, with both national and international recognition.
