Why You Should Attend

A good estate plan anticipates the unexpected – whether a divorce, bankruptcy, lawsuit, or creditor claim – and puts into place the proper tools to protect the client’s interests and assets. There are many tools available to estate planners to help them achieve their clients’ creditor-protection objectives without the need for a self-settled asset protection trust. Many of these tools have been available under the law for years, while others represent recent developments in the laws surrounding creditor protection.

Take this 90 minute webcast to explore the creditor protection options available to your clients and ensure you are taking advantage of all of the tools at your disposal!
