7 Ways for Financial Professionals to Profit from Estate Planning     Become invaluable to your client.   Avoid turning your services into a commodity.   Learn what you need to know.   The estate planning process requires clients to disclose all of their assets, and for their financial advisors to understand how to guide them if necessary.   Keep that relationship.  By becoming involved in the client's estate plan, and seeing the client and their children periodically at client meetings, the advisor can build multi-generational relationships.   Keep the funds in the account. Estate planning minimizes the liquidity trap for investments through the creative use of insurance.   Find more opportunities. Estate planning provides the opportunity to identify missed client needs, and may provide the opportunity to sell additional products to your clients when appropriate. The collaboration of the professions for the benefit of the client provides maximum credibility.   Minimize retirement plan taxes, and keep the retirement accounts longer. With proper planning, retirement plans can be "stretched out" to continue for the lifetime of children or heirs – usually under the management of the advisor that brought the technique to the client's attention.   Become a trusted advisor. Today's planners have to pursue every effort to build the client relationship and to maintain client loyalty. Assisting the estate planning process is not only mutually satisfying and rewarding, it's the right thing to do for your client.     Call us at 800-501-3220 or Email Us to find out more.     Return to prior page.
