Caregiver Economics – How to Protect Yourself as Well as Your Loved Ones
$25.00Estate planning used to just be about the avoidance of probate and estate taxes. Now, though these are important topics, estate planning and trusts need to address the inevitable need for long-term care and possible mental disability/dementia. Additionally, personal wealth can be wiped out upon the disability of either of the spouses if the trust and other assets are not properly planned for. Join Scott and Alexis as they review your options on how to pay for care, and more importantly, how to protect your estate, yourself, your loved ones, and your family relationships.

Getting Your Legal Affairs in Order in a Changed World – Pitfalls and Options
$25.00Effective planning is as much or more about preserving family relationships as it is about preserving family assets. Most estate plans will fail to preserve the family relationships and will also fail to take advantage of the changes in the law. Join us to review: protections and control for the surviving spouse; today’s disability planning pitfalls and options; as well as your trustee’s rights, responsibilities, and liabilities. Estate planning and settlement isn’t about a rote distribution of assets. It’s about caring for and supporting the relationships embedded in the plan.

The Gathering 2018 – Medi-Cal and Medicare: Who, When, How – and What’s Next?
$25.00Scott and Diane will lead a frank and open discussion designed to help you understand the differences and advantages associated with both government benefit programs (as well as the potential effects on both due to government deficits). Confronting the costs of either acute or long-term care or both is often the largest expense a couple will face. Families often believe that it is too late or early to plan – and they must bare these costs on their own. Though this may have been true 10 or 20 years ago, that is not the law now. We know that families often feel overwhelmed and are relieved to find a path to working through it all. Understand how to help your clients plan through case study examples.

Financial and Estate Strategies for the Large IRA
$25.00Do you know what kills more large IRA accounts than anything else? Admiration! – Admiration kills large IRA accounts because the owner, and even the financial advisor who helped them grow the account, fail to plan for the ultimate income tax and potential estate taxes due on the balance. Instead, they get caught up in growing the account to the largest possible balance, admiring each statement and deriving great satisfaction from their savings and investment success. Come and learn how to leverage an IRA into a legacy asset that supports not only the owner and their spouse, but also several generations of beneficiaries.

The Bespoke Protector: Tailoring Third Party Powers to a Strategy’s Demands
$25.00The use of trust advisors and protectors in domestic trusts has increased dramatically in recent years. The popularity of trust advisors and protectors is reflected in the growing body of statutory recognition, extending beyond directed trust statutes to other states as the Uniform Trust Code spreads. Though statutory law is growing in the U.S., there is scant case law to guide practitioners through some of the more challenging issues concerning trust advisors and protectors. Moreover, scholars disagree – sometimes stringently – on the propriety of using trust protectors beyond the offshore asset protection trust context. In this session we Matt will examine the law and develop a framework for practicing with trust advisors and protectors in new and more sophisticated ways.

The Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Helping Your Clients with Senior Care Planning
$25.00Years ago, helping clients navigate senior care wasn’t so complicated. Today, there are well over 1000 facilities and in-home care providers in San Diego alone – making the choices overwhelming. Family caregivers often lack information or resources necessary to coordinate care, thus looking to healthcare providers and estate planning professionals for guidance. Not all care – or budgets – are created equal. Jatana and Scott will break it down in a way that will allow you to provide accurate information and relevant resources for each of your family caregiver clientele.

The Bucket Plan®
$25.00The two biggest risks to a systematic withdrawal plan are inflation, and something known as “sequence-of-return risks”. Sequence-of-returns risk is the risk of receiving lower or negative returns early in a period when withdrawals are made from an individual’s underlying investments. The order or sequence of investment returns is a primary concern for retirees who are living off the income and capital of their investments.
Another misconception we see is people think that legacy planning is “just for the kids.” However, legacy planning is actually MOST important for the surviving spouse. Going from married to single tax brackets, the standard deduction is cut in half, marginal brackets shrink, and overall taxes go up dramatically. Added to which, losing one of the two Social Security payments and potential pensions, income is almost always reduced as well. So taxes go up and income goes down for a surviving purpose.(Purchase of this product will include an Video & Audio recording and a PDF copy of the presentation.)
