ESTATE PLANNING AMIDST GROWTH OF CRYPTOCURRENCY WEALTH

KATY DAVID AND BRAD FLETCHER

Sponsored by Heritage Auctions and Truist

The presentation will explain the basics of cryptocurrency and the particular opportunities and challenges that this asset class creates for estate planners and other advisors.  In particular, the presentation will address (1) how to manage the volatility of cryptocurrency in estate planning; (2) how to safeguard cryptocurrency through trust planning and probate; (3) the role of the Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act; and (4) strategies for gifting (including charitable giving) cryptocurrency. Katy David (Steptoe & Johnson), an experienced and energetic tax lawyer, is gifted at helping her tax-exempt clients feel safe, whether they are confronting challenges or seizing opportunities. Tax-exempt organizations of all sizes rely on Katy to guide them at formation, during their operation and growth, and—when necessary—through wind-down and dissolution. When Katy takes on a new client, she works to truly understand the impact the organization has within its community. From there, Katy is able to help clients plan and implement their strategic direction by combining her technical and legal knowledge with a gut instinct that’s been honed over more than 20 years of practice. Brad Fletcher (Steptoe & Johnson) is a skilled and creative attorney with extensive experience in all matters related to individual and family wealth and estate planning, including trusts and wills, probate, marital deduction trusts, spousal lifetime access trusts, life insurance trusts, gift planning, marital property agreements, family limited partnerships, and gift and estate tax audits. Beyond Brad’s estate planning practice is a robust client base of nonprofits and tax-exempt organizations, where he provides comprehensive legal representation, including guiding both private foundations and public charities through situations that are unique to tax-exempt organizations.
