Taft partner Julia E. Tarvin spoke at the Estate Planning Council of Northern Kentucky luncheon on March 20. Her presentation covered “Hot Topics from Heckerling 2014.” Heckerling is an annual week-long estate planning and tax conference that is typically held in January in Orlando, Fla.

Tarvin focuses her practice on estate planning and probate and trust administration, advising clients on lifetime gifts and transfers at death and resulting tax issues. Prior to attending law school, she worked with adults with chronic mental illness in Hamilton County, Ohio, and she continues to help meet the needs of those with special needs through estate planning for families with children with disabilities.
