Learning Objectives

  • To demonstrate an understanding of the potential implications of trusts and estates issues.
  • To describe the real-life examples and the easy-to-spot strategies that would have changed the outcome from disastrous to successful.

Course Overview

Protecting a client’s assets begins with proper planning and ends with a well-executed estate. Trusts play an important role in the distribution and protection of assets; in maintaining confidentiality, and in protecting beneficiaries who need longer-term oversight and guidance. Trusts and the corresponding estate plans are only successful when they are written and funded. As trusted advisors, understanding the process of trust and estate administration will help you guide your clients to make certain their wishes are followed, without undue surprises or delays. 

This CPE Session is designed to provide practical guidance for strategies to help in the successful administration of clients’ trusts and estates. We will explore missed opportunities for successful administration in real-life examples and then look at several easy-to-implement strategies to avoid similar problems for your clients in the future.

Key topics covered in this course:

  • Understanding of potential implications from trusts and estates issues
  • Real-life examples and the easy-to-spot strategies that would have changed the outcome from disastrous to successful
  • Understanding of the timeline and process of estate administration
  • Steps professionals can take to guide clients to avoid potential issues in the future

Whether you are a financial or an accounting professional, this 1-hour program will inform and instruct you regarding successful trusts and estates administration.

This CPE Virtual Session by Ilene Slatko, a serial entrepreneur who currently coaches clients working through the long tail of administrative and financial tasks involved in the estate and divorce process. She spent over 30 years in the financial industry and has long been a resource for financial and accounting professionals.
