Our next Estate Planning Council event will feature a legislative update.

At this May event, after the end of the Indiana General Assembly session, Jeff Dible will present information about the status of pending federal estate and gift tax/budget legislation and about significant probate, estate, and trust legislation that was enacted during the 2025 session.

He will offer ample time for discussion and questions.

We look forward to seeing you at Bread and Chocolate for lunch, followed by the program.

The program is free for current Elkhart County Estate Planning members and $35 for non-members. The event is for wealth managers, financial planners, and professional advisors who are part of the Estate Planning Council. To join the ECEPC, click here.

He is a Fellow of the  American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) and served as ACTEC’s Indiana State Chair from March 2015 through January of 2020. Jeff Dible has frequently represented and advised the individual or corporate trustees of trusts. He often works on a consulting basis for lawyers and law firms in Indiana and other jurisdictions with respect to Indiana trust and estate law or Indiana taxation
