Course Overview

Have you considered what will happen to your money after you’re gone? 

Plenty of people focus most of their energy on making more money now and for good reason. Estate planning tends to take a backseat to seemingly more pressing matters of the here and now.

But you can’t live forever, so you need to make some vital financial and personal decisions now. There’s no better time than right now to begin developing your estate plan.

Estate planning provides families with a great opportunity to be prepared for unexpected incapacity and death. 

Whether we are 20 and just beginning a career or 50 and seeking to retire, we must all seek better methods for retirement planning our futures.

Simply put, why bother with estate planning – easy, you get to plan where your money goes, how it gets invested, how to minimize tax implications, and heaven forbid incapacity or death, someone else gets your money other than Uncle Sam.

Estate planning has many intricacies that many including clients do not want to deal with. As a tax planner or someone involved with those who seek retirement, future planning is crucial for creating liquidity and a legacy and this CPE course on estate planning helps you deal with that.

An estate plan can include many different types of documents, including wills and trusts. There are so many different tools that will allow you to have a comprehensive and customized estate plan.
