Course Description

The legal cannabis industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. As more states legalize cannabis sales, estate planners may increasingly be called upon to advise clients with interests in cannabis-related businesses.

This CPE webinar provides an overview of some of the fundamental issues about which cannabis business owners are likely to seek estate planning advice: business formation matters, wealth transfers, the ability of trusts to own cannabis-related businesses, and gift, estate, and income tax considerations.

In most states that permit legal cannabis sales, there is limited guidance to provide answers to many basic questions about wealth transfers involving cannabis businesses. At the federal level, while there is a clear prohibition on income tax deductions by cannabis businesses, the gift and estate tax rules are entirely silent on the most basic matters.

Speaker Paula Collins will discuss this introductory information, forward-thinking estate planners may be better equipped to advise clients about how much is still unknown about the legal landscape for cannabis business owners and to follow future developments in this burgeoning area of law.

Wherever you are in your career in the Cannabis Business, this CPE Finance webinar will give you the tools and knowledge to make the choices necessary to have a successful financial future.

Learning Objectives

To discuss that Cannabis Business Owners need estate planning as much or more than regular business owners.
To consider estate planning for cannabis business owners through the perspectives of insurance, savings, traditional retirement planning tools, and trusts (revocable and irrevocable).

About Presenter

Paula Collins

Owner, Law Office of Paula Collins, PLLC

I take a personal interest in my clients and specialize in helping them find solutions to all of their business and individual needs. This means that my clients trust me on a wide range of legal and financial issues that affect their daily lives.

After an early career as a professional pianist, I began to do Tax Preparation for myself and my fellow musicians. This experience is one component of my ongoing practice of providing legal representation to individuals in contracts. I also saw the necessity of protecting assets through Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning.

In addition to my tax and legal expertise, I have ten years of experience as a Special Education Teacher with NYC Teaching Fellows. Because of this, I have seen firsthand the importance of providing legal representation for those with special needs. The problems faced by these individuals are not abstract concepts to me.

I am a graduate of Brooklyn Law School with a Certificate in Intellectual Property, Media, and Information Law. While in law school, I won the Center for Urban Business Entrepreneurship (CUBE) competition for an app design to help Indie Filmmakers in developing contracts. Additionally, I won Regional Law School Mediation competition. This award alone is indicative of my ability to find solutions.
