This summer, Louis Wooten was one of the featured speakers at the 2010 North Carolina Bar Association Estate Planning Section annual meeting and continuing education. The two-day annual event was held this year at the prestigious Kiawah Island Golf and Resort, in South Carolina. Louis spoke to several hundred members of the North Carolina Estate Planning Section on state and federal law consequences of an owner of a closely held business. Louis spends a great deal of time in his practice counseling closely held business owners on death and business succession issues and was thus eminently qualified to lecture to other practitioners on this import legal topic.
