June 14, 2023, Noon-1:30pm ∙ Trust Administration – What Happens With an Estate Plan After Death?

Presented by: Attorney Vincent E. Bonazzoli

So, you made a great plan while you were alive…what happens after you or a loved one dies? Unfortunately, the documents aren’t your fairy godmother, and they don’t wave a magic wand to

instantly pass your assets to your family. Join us for this webinar where we will discuss the specific steps that need to be addressed shortly after someone dies and in the months that follow. This webinar is a must for your trustees and loved ones since you can’t administer your own plan. We’ve found that understanding the process before someone dies can make the process after death much smoother for your family members and loved ones. We will also discuss what steps might be helpful just prior to death to smooth out the trust administration process afterward.

October 5, 2023, Noon-1:30pm ∙ The SECURE Act 2.0: Updates for 2023 and beyond

Presented by: Vincent E. Bonazzoli

On December 20, 2019, President Trump signed into law the SECURE Act: the first major law change regarding qualified retirement plan assets in almost two decades. The SECURE Act has profoundly affected planning for required minimum distributions following the death of an IRA owner. The law now requires that the full IRA be distributed within 10 years, which dramatically accelerates income tax liability and potentially exposes the IRA assets to divorces, bankruptcies, and lawsuits. On February 24, 2022, proposed regulations clarified the SECURE Act 1.0, and then on December 29, 2022, Congress enacted what is now called the SECURE Act 2.0, which made further changes and clarifications. Although there are some exceptions to the 10-year rule, income tax, special needs trust, and asset

protection planning now need to be coordinated on a case-by-case basis. Come learn the newest updates to the SECURE Act and potential strategies to minimize the adverse income tax consequences and continue asset protection.

November 14, 2023, Noon-1:00pm ∙ Estate Planning Around the Holidays – A Conversation Guide

Presented by: Attorneys Vincent E. Bonazzoli & Samantha Caezza

We have found the secret to a successful estate plan, which takes care of your family, is clear and open communication with your loved ones as to how you want to be taken care of as you age and the reasons behind your decisions in your estate plan. Most disagreements that arise after someone dies, which often leads to fractured family relationships and sometimes even litigation, are caused by misunderstanding around the intent and wishes expressed in your estate plan. Having the conversations before you die, allows you to clarify both your wishes and the intentions behind your decisions, ensuring that all of your loved ones understand that these decisions were made not because of a lack of love or affection but for purposeful reasons designed to take care of your family the way you would like. As the holidays approach, this webinar will provide suggestions and insights around how to not only broach the subject but also communicate your wishes effectively.

Presented by: Attorneys Vincent E. Bonazzoli and Michele Fuller

For those families who have children or loved ones who are receiving governmental benefits, or advisors who have clients in this situation, failure to plan properly will result in the child or loved one losing vital benefits such as medical assistance. This webinar will focus on how to take care of the child or loved one and still have them maintain eligibility for these critical benefits. We will specifically discuss common planning mistakes that are made in titling assets and naming beneficiaries as well as errors made in wills and trusts. We will discuss the difference between third-party special needs trusts and first-party special needs trusts and when they should be used. We will also discuss issues of choosing a guardian, when to apply for guardianship, and when to use powers of attorneys and health care proxies. We are pleased to have Attorney Michele Fuller joining us, who is a national expert on special needs planning. She will also discuss the best options for taking care of your special needs child while balancing their relationships with their siblings and other family members with the goal of promoting the child’s independence.
