Kevin Wentz, CRMA

The content of this program was excellent. It outlined many issues (some I had not thought of) about fraud in estates. Presenter also discussed possible solutions and resources to help. Sorry, I forgot that you are not an attorney. (From what I read, the Hunter Biden laptop case has a lot of issues with the lack of chain of custody.) Yes, it is political. Sorry I brought it up.

Always like his presentations. He covers plenty at a good pace and gives useful examples of a CPA's roll. If like the list of things he says should be done and order to do them. Thanks!
