Brooklyn Bar Association panel includes Judge Ingram on estate planning CLE
The Brooklyn Bar Association (BBA) held a joint-continuing legal education (CLE) seminar with the New York Guard that included a panel of three attorneys, plus Surrogate Court Justice John Ingram, on Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights on Wednesday.
Ingram, an admiral in the U.S. Navy Reserve, was joined by Dewey Golkin, Ellyn Kravitz and Gary Elias for the CLE. It was free for military service members and covered topics including changes to the estate tax under the new tax proposal and other topics related to estate planning.
“This is a joint Brooklyn Bar and NY Guard event,” Golkin explained. “We prepare wills, health proxies, power of attorneys and funeral declarations before they deploy. After we go through the tax proposal, we’re going to do some basics on estate planning and probating a will with details on administration.
