Marshalling Assets in Estate Planning

December 3

Learn to properly oversee the administration of a trust or estate while marshalling and distributing assets.

For an estate plan to work, the plan must be properly funded. In this topic, you will learn the thought processes, practical impediments, and solutions to ensure that a client’s plan is well-funded. Specifically, we will discuss identifying assets, determining what assets should and should not be funded into a trust, dealing with assets that pass by beneficiary designation, and funding logistically. This material will provide you with an understanding of what is necessary to properly fund a client’s estate plan.
