This CLE course will provide estate planning attorneys and advisers with a detailed analysis of estate planning techniques for digital influencers. The panel will discuss the unique and complex estate planning challenges presented by influencers, including domicile planning with rights of publicity, succession planning, and maximizing the transfer of wealth with the use of GRATs, SLATs, and other planning techniques.

Description

The rapid expansion of social media and other online platforms has provided income opportunities for online influencers and entrepreneurs. These influencers tend to amass millions of followers and viewers prompting advertisers to include them in marketing campaigns for a variety of brands in exchange for cash, products or other assets.

Social media influencers are critical components in the broad scheme of marketing and communications, receiving millions of dollars due to their strong influence through Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media platforms. Many of these influencers have leveraged their influence to develop their own clothing lines and lifestyle brands, and have rapidly accumulated significant wealth, prompting the need for effective estate planning.

Estate planning attorneys and advisers must become familiar with the social media influencer marketing industry and implement planning techniques to maximize the transfer of wealth while minimizing transfer taxes.

Listen as our panel discusses estate planning challenges presented by social media influencers and online entrepreneurs, including domicile and entity selection challenges, maximizing the transfer of wealth through the use of GRATs, SLATs and other planning methods, and succession planning with intellectual property.
