This CLE/CPE course will provide estate planning and business attorneys with an in-depth analysis of challenges for cryptocurrency investors. The panel will discuss the impact of cryptocurrency on estate planning, asset protection, and investment management, as well as explore effective transaction structures and planning techniques to manage issues related to owning and investing in cryptocurrency.

Description

Cryptocurrency is considered personal property in the eyes of the IRS. These crypto-assets will be part of an individual's estate, forcing estate planning and business counsel to consider various factors in planning for the transfer and management of crypto-assets.

For estate planning purposes, cryptocurrency is taxed similarly to real estate or stock. In contrast, a sale or exchange can lead to capital gains or losses that must be reported on tax returns. Estate planning and tax advisers must consider this tax treatment when documenting gifts, utilizing trusts, and structuring transactions. Counsel must consider unique planning factors that apply to cryptocurrencies, such as the rules regarding the custody, security, and accessibility of digital assets; the Uniform Prudent Investor Act; and complex tax regulations.

Listen as our panel discusses the impact of crypto-assets on estate planning and investment management that may arise and offers essential techniques for the effective protection and administration of these types of assets.
