Learning Objective

  • Explore why beneficiary elections are critical.
  • Identify the potential danger of not redoing these elections immediately post-divorce.
  • Know how to discuss these changes with clients in the emotional distress of a divorce.
  • Understand how building the trust of your clients is enhanced with these discussions.
  • Explain the importance of making these changes to your clients.

Course Overview

When a marriage ends, life for both spouses can feel overwhelming. Many find it takes two to three years to feel ‘like themselves fully’. During those years, however, decisions need to be made to secure the individual spouse’s financial security, including taking the proper steps to ensure that estate planning reflects marital and other changes.

Beneficiary elections are integral to estate planning. Used properly, these elections can reduce the size of a taxable estate, speed up the distribution of assets, and convey final wishes. Post-divorce planning and execution should allow for discussions about beneficiary elections to determine the precise wishes of the individual. Although advisors frequently caution newly divorced spouses to refrain from making hasty purchases or changes, reviewing beneficiary designations should occur sooner rather than later in the post-divorce process.

This one-hour CE/CPE course provides in-depth information on beneficiary use and its importance in the post-divorce process. You aim to add value to your clients, especially when they are most vulnerable. We will introduce the various ways these elections can transfer property and discuss the critical importance of bringing these up to date after a marriage ends.

This Course is led by Ilene Slatko, a speaker and serial entrepreneur who offers financial education and coaching for estate and divorce processes. With 30+ years in the financial industry, she is a trusted resource for professionals.

Key topics covered in this course:

  • Post-Divorce Financial Security
  • Importance of Beneficiary Elections
  • Estate Planning Adjustments
  • Updating Beneficiary Designations
  • Effective Client Discussions
