Course Description

Most charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) are tied to clients’ lifetimes and tend to have long lifecycles; usually several decades. At its inception, the CRT is a perfect fit with the client’s situation, and most CRTs remain good fits early in the overall lifecycle (the first decade or two). But beyond that, the fit often wanes because the CRT can’t adjust to changes in the client’s life, which are inevitable over the CRT’s long lifecycle. Many clients in this situation are unaware that several planning options exist, and advisors can both spot the misalignment and present the potential fixes to the client.
 
Attendees Will Learn:


  • The range of planning options available to clients with CRTs 

  • How to review a client’s CRT to determine which option, if any, is the best fit for the client

  • The process for accomplishing each option

  • Tax and legal authorities for each option

  • Why some options could increase in usage depending on the election results
