This course provides in-depth information to enable the practitioner to
make a well-informed decision as to whether or not a trust is the
appropriate vehicle for a client’s financial, estate, and/or asset
protection plan, and, if so, how the trust can best be implemented and
operated. Participants will learn about the many different types of
trusts that can be harnessed to save clients income, estate,
generation-skipping, and other taxes, at both the federal and state
level.
