"FSP webinars have tremendous value for financial professionals. There is a wide array of interesting topics to choose from, and the ability to assemble a group of individuals lets you extend and amplify the value of the program. When supporting material is provided, such as articles, web sites, etc., attendees can continue the dialogue when the program ends."

Program Overview
All clients have specific financial goals they want to achieve. Individual goals, however, depend on a client's particular circumstances in conjunction with existing economic conditions, personal family matters, and other factors. This program uses several mini-cases that illustrate commonly occurring client situations, except that each one has an "uncommon" twist that sets it apart from the usual. Cases are taken from the files of our panelists and cover: partnership buy-outs in a volatile market where the company value is uncertain (under- and over-funding issues, tax implications, and family concerns); trustee to trustee transfers (premium financing, life settlements, split dollars); life insurance in irrevocable life insurance trusts; decanting a trust; structuring and restructuring ESOPs; and estate complications in a bankruptcy.
By the end of the program you will understand:
The importance of accurate and up-to-date valuation of an asset
The proper use of life insurance in an irrevocable trust
The need for ESOPs to react to changes in the economy and to keep employees apprised of changing stock values
The redistribution of assets to heirs as a way to equalize market fluctuations
Who should attend?
Financial planners, insurance producers, investment advisors, retirement counselors, estate planners, and other financial professionals.
