Confronting the costs of long-term care 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. Also, on September 18, 2018, the VA published new rules to qualify, including penalizations for any gift made in the past 36 months as well as investments towards annuities. We understand that families often feel overwhelmed and are relieved to find a path to working through it all.

Likewise, real estate investors typically understand the rules and concerns surrounding: Swap till you drop 1031’s; Capital Gains and re-captured depreciation avoidance; Assets in ‘B’ and other irrevocable trusts; Assets in entities such as LLC’s and Corporations; and Assets in Family Limited Partnerships. However, these same investors may not be completely aware of the Eight Exit Strategies that may be more appropriate than traditional methods. Join Maureen and Joe for a dynamic discussion about how these strategies can help your real estate investor clients.

Estate 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.
