Course Overview

Benjamin Franklin once said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.”

Life presents all of us with circumstances – some good – some bad. We all believe that we will live forever, healthy and vibrant, yet, life, as some of us know it, throws us all curve balls. Whether we are 20 and just beginning a career or 50 and seeking to retire, we must all seek better methods for planning our futures.

Why bother with estate planning?

It is easy.

You get to plan where your money goes.

How it gets invested.

How to minimize tax implications and heaven forbid at time of incapacity or death, someone else gets your money other than Uncle Sam.

The goal here is not to scare you but to help you understand your options, minimize taxes, and plan for a liquid financial future.

This online CE Tax Webinar will answer the following questions:

  • Why estate planning?
  • What are the benefits of estate planning?
  • What are the tools available for estate planning?

Small glitch in one of the polling questions was distracting but was resolve by tech. Overall was a very good presentation, and gave a great overall of basics and reminders of what items should be covered in estate planning. Definitely made me realize that I have unfinished work to do on my own planning.
