About the program…
Chronic illness affects nearly 120 million Americans. How can professional advisors better serve and advise clients and their loved ones living with chronic illness? In many situations, modest changes to traditional estate, financial and other planning techniques can improve protection and peace of mind for these clients. This seminar will provide a sophisticated but practical overview on each phase of planning, and its implementation that will enable advisors to be more effective resources for their clients. Misconceptions and myths will be debunked. Challenges that can impact clients, ranging for cognitive dysfunction, physical disabilities, income tax pitfalls, budgeting and investment planning, insurance oversights, and charitable giving will be explained. Comprehensive materials, including sample forms, will also be made available.
