The 2011 Heckerling Institute covered many new and important developments, including TRA 2010 - the tax law that has given us “Temporary Certainty.” This webinar will cover the critical nuances of TRA 2010 and how they impact Florida bankers. As a banker or trust officer, one of your primary duties is to advise families about estate, tax and financial planning and to reduce fiduciary risk flowing from trust administration. This webinar will provide you with important information
on changes in the law and case law developments to ensure you are fully informed.

 

Clients have an expectation that their trust officers and other advisers are up to date on the latest changes in the law. This seminar identifies 10 critical areas explored at Heckerling 2011 that each Florida banker must know to be able to continue to deliver world-class service to clients and keep their bank or trust company from problematic trends in estate, tax and financial planning.

 

Who Should Attend: Trust Officers, Assistants, Bankers, Planning Advisers.
