Peter Klenk Selected to Teach Pennsylvania Bar Institute’s CLE Seminar

The Pennsylvania Bar Institute, the continuing education arm of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, selected Peter Klenk, the principal at Klenk Law, to teach their CLE seminar on the estate planning impact of Pennsylvania’s Uniform Trust Act. Peter was part of a panel of attorneys chosen for their estate planning expertise and familiarity with Pennsylvania’s Uniform Trust Act.

The three-hour seminar, “Pennsylvania’s Uniform Trust Act: Pitfalls and Solutions,” was held on December 8th in the CLE Conference Center in Philadelphia. Topics covered included:

Fundamental General Changes
Notices
Revocable Trusts vs. Wills
Representation (includes conflicts)
Charitable Trusts and Judicial Proceedings
Non-Judicial Proceedings Modification/Reformation Trust Protectors
Annual Accountings

The seminar provided important information on the practical implications of the Uniform Trust Act, how it impacts estate planning practices and what techniques can be utilized for accounting, filing, claims and virtual representation

Some examples of crucial techniques:

  • Details on when notices of a trust’s existence must be provided to trust beneficiaries
  • The new revocable trust regime and if advantages remain for revocable trusts over wills
  • Beneficiaries’ new authority to modify trusts, including irrevocable trusts
  • Conditions when adult family members can represent minor or future unborn beneficiaries in proceedings or agreements to interpret or modify trusts
  • Drafting trust documents to offer more flexibility to beneficiaries

Lu Han

I have worked with three different attorneys and law firms over the years, and I can confidently say that attorney Peter Klenk stands out as the most knowledgeable. He created the most thorough wills and trust documents I've ever had. Mr. Klenk took the time to gather all the necessary details about my current situation and goals. As a result, he put together comprehensive documents that I believe will effectively protect my assets and ensure my children's inheritance is secure.
What truly sets Mr. Klenk apart is his patience and dedication to understanding my questions. He provided detailed explanations that made complex legal concepts much easier to grasp. His team's communication and scheduling were equally impressive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Thank you, Mr. Klenk, and your fantastic team, for your exceptional service!

I knew I needed to update my Estate Planning documents created 15 years ago, yet I kept putting it off. Peter, in his no pressure way nudged me to finally check it off my list. The admin staff of Klenk law were very respectful and responsive in working with me to set up dates and times that work for me to talk with Peter over the phone regarding what I wanted to update. Peter answered my questions and explained some things to me. This helped me on some of my estate decision. After our phone talk, I received a draft of the updated documents, and was allowed ample time to review them prior to a final review with Peter over the phone. This pre-signing reviews made the in-person signing time very short. I would highly recommend Klenk Law, because Peter and his staff were professional but friendly, and thorough in the estate planning work they did for me. Thank you, Peter!
