Complimentary Sponsored Webinar: Offered by Ashar Group – Essential Insights: Avoiding Discounted Life Settlement Offers

Jamie L. Mendelsohn, EVP and Jon B. Mendelsohn, CEO

Join our expert panel for a 30-minute (+ Q&A) discussion as we uncover key strategies and blind spots that planners can address when guiding clients through valuing life insurance and the life settlement process. We will cover frequently asked questions and everyday planning scenarios. If you’d like a specific question addressed during the discussion, please email your question to jamie@ashargroup.com.

Once the original need for life insurance has passed, life events trigger a need for updated planning and cash flow requirements. Don’t miss the opportunity for your clients to make an informed decision about what to do with their life insurance when they no longer want to pay anymore premiums. Avoid losing 6 -7 figures of immediate liquidity by unintentionally canceling a policy for less than it’s worth.

Throughout her tenure at Ashar Group, Jamie has earned the reputation of a determined client advocate. She is the go-to resource for advanced planners and fiduciaries who integrate life insurance policy valuation into their planning process. If the decision is made to sell the policy as a life settlement, she negotiates with licensed buyers on behalf of their clients. Jamie speaks nationally at financial services conferences and estate planning councils providing continuing education for both financial and insurance professionals.

Jamie earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Florida, where she was a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority.

Deathbed Income Tax and Transfer Tax Planning Opportunities

Aejaz A. Dar, JD and Ellis Pretlow, JD

According to Benjamin Franklin’s maxim, the two certainties in life are death and taxes.  Although the former cannot be avoided, it is possible to mitigate the latter, even when the client is on his or her deathbed.  This presentation will discuss practical techniques that can be utilized in the final days of a client’s life to take advantage of income tax and transfer tax planning opportunities despite the client’s impending mortality. Using a checklist format, the presenters will focus on the issues attorneys face in this crucial time of a client’s life and how best to prepare for death from a tax planning perspective.

 

Aejaz A. Dar is a partner at Yates Campbell LLP, which is a boutique trusts and estates law firm located in Fairfax, Virginia.  He concentrates his practice on estate planning and estate and trust administration matters.  He received his B.A. from the University of Michigan and his J.D. from NYU School of Law.

 

Ms. Pretlow is Senior Vice President and Senior Estate Administrator at Bessemer Trust. In this role, she is responsible for managing estates for which Bessemer serves as executor or personal representative.

Prior to joining Bessemer, Ellis was a partner at Kaufman & Canoles, P.C. in Norfolk, VA, in the Estate, Trust, and Wealth Transfer Practice Group. She is a member of the Virginia Bar Association’s Wills, Trusts, and Estates Section and its Legislative Committee, as well as a member of the Board of Directors of the Hampton Roads Estate Planning Council. Ellis earned a J.D., magna cum laude, from the Washington and Lee University School of Law and a B.A. from the University of Virginia.

Estate Planning for International Families with U.S. Ties

Edward A. Vergara, JD, LL.M. (taxation)

The objective of this program is to provide attendees with the tools necessary to identify common estate planning problems and opportunities for international clients with US connections. The program will consist of two parts. 

The first part of the program will review the rules for (1) classifying US and non-US individuals for estate planning purposes and (2) identifying US investments or activities that can create US tax, reporting and probate exposure for non-US individuals. This part of the program is intended to provide beginner and intermediate participants with tools for proactive issue-spotting.

The second part of the program will illustrate common estate planning pitfalls and opportunities for international families within the framework of several case studies, including (1) international families with a family member moving to the United States temporarily (for example, as a student) or permanently (for example, marrying a US person), and (2) international families with US real estate or portfolio investments. This part of the program will highlight planning opportunities and techniques that are better suited for intermediate participants.

Ed acts as legal counsel to individuals, fiduciaries, and closely held businesses on a broad range of matters related to tax optimization and succession planning, with a primary focus on the design of tax-efficient ownership and transaction structures and the development of thoughtful mechanisms for the succession of ownership and control through transition events. A significant element of Ed’s practice consists of advising on cross-border matters. He often works with taxpayers managing changes of residency, including not only pre-immigration and expatriation planning for the United States, but also changes of residency and domicile between U.S. jurisdictions. Advising cross-border families and businesses is also an important part of Ed’s practice, and many of his engagements involve coordination with advisors in multiple jurisdictions to help clients manage tax, reporting and succession issues both in the United States and in the jurisdictions where assets or stakeholders reside.  Ed also often works with fiduciaries and beneficiaries of foreign trusts and foundations managing U.S. tax and reporting considerations.

Snowbirding: Living in More than One Location in Retirement

Stephen B. Parrish, JD, RICP®, CLU®, ChFC®, AEP®

Many prospective retirees hope to own two residences during their retirement. Whether because of weather, family, or adventure, they look forward to breaking up each year by living in two or more locations. They want to be “snowbirds”.

There are a number of tax and financial considerations that must be addressed in order to make this retirement arrangement work, from equity financing to establishing legal domicile, and from managing household expenses to multi-jurisdiction estate planning. This presentation examines the key financial considerations to address as part of owning multiple residences in retirement.
