Course Description

This webinar will provide a discussion of various aspects of the Secure Act and explain planning ideas and thoughts that will deepen your knowledge and understanding of how planning for retirement assets and IRAs has changed. Most importantly, the webinar will provide more practical practice suggestions you can use in your practice.


  • When and how should you modify existing estate plans to use conduit trusts, new variations of conduit trusts, or accumulation trusts.

  • How might beneficiary designations be changed.

  • How might overall client estate plans be modified in light of the Secure Act, including uses of life insurance, charitable remainder trusts, and alternate dispositive schemes and much more.


The discussion will explore critical trust planning ideas, not only the income tax implications. A detailed analysis of the new concept of Eligible Designated Beneficiaries will be explored.
