Course Description

When a person dies, all of his or her possessions – real estate, money, stocks, personal belongings, etc become a part of his or her estate. Estate administration refers to the process of collecting and managing the estate, paying any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property to the heirs of the estate. The heirs of an estate are determined by will, and if there isn't a will, by the intestacy (which means dying without a will) laws of each state. This online CPE course on Estate Administration Basics provides information on how to administer an estate, what being an executor means, and what happens to a person's debts after his or her death.

Some CPAs & Financial Advisor’s might focus on estate administration; however, many more will come across this work with a client. This online continuing professional educational course provides an overview regarding how you can help to administer an estate. It includes a checklist of tasks and an overview of what each entail. The online CPE course includes minor points such as what information you’ll need to collect and when to get an EIN.

This CPE webinar includes substantial discussion of the following major topics:

  • Legal Principles and Definitions
  • Developing an Inventory and Estate Accounting(s)
  • Allocating Income between Form 1040 and Form 1041
  • Filing your client’s final Form 1040
  • The basics of filing a Form 1041 for an estate or non-grantor trust
  • Filing a final Form 709
  • The basics of filing Form 706
  • Understanding 706 Elections

  • S-Corp Issues
  • Partnership and LLC considerations
  • Passive Loss Carry forwards and Estates
  • Fiscal Year Elections
