Course Overview

This course is valid up to December 31st, 2023 for CFP Professionals. It is advisable to complete this course before that to process the credit on time.

Recent shifts and changes in the taxation of estates and trusts have also changed some of the planning techniques that practitioners should consider when advising clients. Trust is a very useful and flexible tool for estate and gift tax planning, yet it is probably the most underused estate management technique. 

This CE tax course will discuss how trusts are used as a strategy to reduce estate and gift taxes.  

Financial planners will understand the significance of making gifts to trusts not only for tax purposes but for asset preservation, privacy, and planning to assist a client in a position to best protect their families.  

In this CE/CPE webinar, speaker Warren Bergstein will explore the following topics at great length.

  • Definition of a trust
  • Parties to a trust Basic types of trusts 
  • Primary advantages of trusts 
  • Powers over trust property 
  • Income distribution provisions Gifts in trust 
  • Irrevocable life insurance trusts 
  • Marital deduction trusts 
  • Charitable trusts  
  • Other trust considerations
