Michael Boyle, AFSP

This was a very informative course. It is an invaluable introductory course on the elements of taxable gifts and estates. The treatment of planning strategies was very well done – not just for financial planners, but also providing a structure for tax planning. I needed the refresher on the generation skipping tax. Well done.
