Please register for this recorded NAFC webinar. This webinar is open to NAFC and ATA members.
Webinar Description:
Should you be revising your estate plan or engaging in the estate planning process? Statistics show that 55% of Americans die without a will or estate plan. Even those with plans in place do not understand them or believe it meets their needs.
This webinar will inform executives and business owners about estate planning (wills, powers of attorney and trusts), wealth transfer strategies and provide practical steps to start the conversation around ensuring your family’s wealth, business, and values successfully transition to the next generation. Join Bob Paredes, Director, BKD Wealth Advisors LLC and Karen Fleming, CPA, Director, BKD, on May 12 to learn more.
