Required Minimum Distribution CLE

The ABA’s Section of Real Property, Trust and Estate Law is sponsoring a  teleconference and live audio webcast on May 12, 2009 entitled Planning Opportunities in the Wake of Suspension of the RMD Rules.

Here is a description of the program:

Under Section 201 of the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, the required minimum distribution (RMD) rules under IRC section 401(a)(9) for the 2009 tax year have been suspended.

Thus, if one has reached his/her required beginning date (i.e. age 70 ½), he/she will not have to take out an RMD for the 2009 tax year.This presents numerous opportunities for the advisor and their client.

Throughout this seminar we will focus on how sophisticated advisors can use these key opportunities to become their client’s most valued advisor.
