8/2/2019 32nd Annual Estate Planning Retreat
6/8
TOPIC 1 - Planning for Retirement Accounts That OutliveTheir Owners
Most clients hope that their IRAs and qualified retirement plans will provide
them with a comfortable retirement income and perhaps a legacy for their
beloved family, friends or charities. What happens when a retirement account
owner or plan sponsor dies? What planning choices are available? What are
their tax consequences, estate planning ramifications and potential penalties?
In this seminar, we will explore how to coordinate IRA and retirement plan
beneficiary designations with the account owner's estate plan, what perils
and pitfalls to avoid during the estate planning process and post-mortem
planning opportunities.

TOPIC 2 - Practical Solutions to Elder Financial Abuseand Fiduciary Theft
Financial abuse and fiduciary theft is on the rise. It comes in many different
guises. Although the media typically cover some of the more heinous elder
abuse cases each year, most abuses are committed by family members and
relatively few are ever reported to law enforcement. When a client first meets
with you to discuss suspected abuse, or you happen upon a situation that
appears questionable, the options available will vary widely with the particular
situation. This presentation will focus on practical solutions for practitioners
and others to investigate and address possible elder abuse when those
situations first appear.
Presented byThomas A. Rodriguez, Esq., Vincent, Romeo & Rodriguez, LLC

as part of a comprehensive estate plan. Other specific topics discussed include
the ability of estates to qualify as S corporation shareholders, the type of trusts
that can qualify as S corporation shareholders, the use of discounts relating to
LLC and partnership equity interests, the tax consequences of making 754
elections under the partnership tax rules, distinctions between general and
limited partners and control issues, and valuation rules relating to partnership,
LLC, and S corporation interests under IRC sections 2701 through 2704.
