Learning Objective

  • Identify testate and intestate and why it matters.
  • Discuss the federal and state Order of Precedence.
  • Introduce different types of Wills and POAs and when they might be used.
  • Introduce generational wealth planning and different types of Trusts that can be employed.
  • Finish building your FERS puzzle.

Course Overview

Taking command of your career and retirement assets is key to fostering peace of mind as you navigate your professional journey. The components of the FERS puzzle are intricately designed to complement each other, offering a robust retirement outlook when appropriately utilized.

FERS coverage excludes military personnel and state or local government employees. Retirement benefits are sourced from three main sources: the basic benefit plan, Social Security, and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).

This CPE Course on Estate Planning delves into the foundational elements of your retirement puzzle, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive generational planning. While less directly tied to FERS, our discussion on estate planning enriches prior dialogues on Wills and Trusts, addressing titling, personal property, and other vital considerations for asset distribution. In this course, we finalize the construction of each participant's FERS retirement blueprint.

Key topics covered in this course:

  • Introduction to Estate Planning
  • Types of Wills and Bequests
  • Introduction to Trusts – 3 Classifications
  • Insurance, Titling, Guardianship, Conservatorship
  • Finalizing Your FERS Puzzle

Join this CPE webinar, which will equip you with the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate financial decisions effectively and ensure a prosperous future.

Ms. Slatko is an accomplished presenter. She established a conceptual framework for the estate and trust issue including a very comprehendible and thorough explanation of per stirpes and per capita clauses in wills. One suggestion is that she spend more time on AB marital trusts, not only in explanation but also application. The time allotted was too short for such an important area. Not a Biden style explanation, but a bit confusing, was her narrative on the AB trust area. On balance, a VERY well-done narrative. I will look forward to updates on her first 7 in the series.

The instructor mentioned that this was part of a larger series dealing with retirement issues. Would lo09ve to have a 4 or 8 hour course related to this. The instructor is great.
