Webinars

Advisor Dashboard

Trusts have re-emerged as an important instrument for tax and financial planning professionals to distinguish themselves from salespeople.

Trusts have always been crucial to ultra-high net worth individuals, and the SECURE Act, which is expected to be signed later this year, expands the use of trusts to individuals with IRAs of $1 million or more.

This is the second part of a two-class course on trusts, part of A4A's focus on skills you need now. It also differentiates you from financial product salespeople. This class covers 30 situations illustrating when a trust reduces taxes, legally shields, or otherwise enables prudent management of assets in the best interest of clients currently, as well as for an eternity, including:
