Session Title:  Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Lifetime RMDs... And More

Description:

A sound understanding of the RMD rules by advisors is a necessity, as RMDs are one aspect of retirement distribution planning that impacts nearly all clients at one point or another. Add to that the mass of Baby Boomers – the oldest of which are now in their 70s – who need RMD help and it’s easy to see a golden opportunity awaits the educated advisor. Sadly though, evidence shows that most advisors vastly overestimate their knowledge of core RMD rules, which can lead to disastrous consequences. In this program, advisors will learn about RMDs from the “ground up” to ensure they can give sound advice for years to come. Special focus will be paid to the intricacies and nuances of this deceivingly complex aspect of the law so that advisors can help clients correct mistakes that have already occurred and avoid others before they even happen.

 

Session Title:  Advanced 529 Planning: 529-to-Roth, Dynasty 529, And Other HNW Opportunities

Description:

Over the past few decades, higher education costs have increased at a pace far exceeding inflation. In an effort to help save for such costs, many families have turned to 529 plans. While the basic mechanics of such plans are well understood by most advisors, 529 planning can become surprisingly complex, especially when planning for multiple (generations of) potential students, or when 529 plan funds are used for purposes other than higher education. Join Lead Financial Planning Nerd, Jeff Levine, at the July Kitces Monthly webinar, where you’ll explore many of these complexities and take a deep dive into some of the more challenging aspects of 529 planning.
