Convergence of Estate Structure and Financial Advice

Learn the importance of coordinating financial planning with estate planning and how to overcome the reluctance of clients.

Many financial planners assist clients with estate planning, at least at a summary level and to make sure their clients at least have an estate plan. Fewer estate planners are even aware of much about their clients' financial plans (and there are economic reasons why this is so). The presenters of this topic will use a case study approach with four fact patterns to illustrate the importance of coordinating financial planning with estate planning. The two should not be developed in isolation from each other, or they may be at best uncoordinated and at worst in conflict. If developed in coordination, the two plans can provide powerful synergies.
