How do Trump Accounts fit into your plans for kids and grandkids?

 

Join us for an exclusive webinar on saving and planning for kids and grandkids. As parents and grandparents live longer and want to help younger generations, “giving while living” has taken on a bigger role in wealth planning. We look at ways parents and grandparents can help children save – whether for college, retirement or to build their own nest egg. We also look at trust and estate strategies.

What you'll get:

  • An overall look at different custodial accounts, including Trump Accounts and 529s
  • A deep dive into the new Trump Accounts and how they compare to other savings vehicles
  • A close look at the massive wealth transfer from older Americans to younger generations
  • CE credit (1 hour)

Who can benefit:

  • Advisors and RIAs looking to help parents and grandparents save for kids
  • Financial professionals looking for details and analysis on the new Trump Accounts
  • Advisors looking for an overview of custodial savings vehicles and choices
