You’ve all heard of a Spousal Lifetime Access Trust, otherwise often called a SLAT. But what is it, and where does it fit into your clients’ estate plans? Did you know that you can set up a SLAT where the assets are protected from creditors and divorcing spouses and free of estate taxes, yet you can have indirect access to the assets? And did you know that you can set one up without even making a completed gift for gift tax purposes? 

Join nationally-known estate planning attorney Steve Oshins as he explains how SLATs work and where estate planners have opportunities to use them for clients. 

Whether you’re an attorney, an accountant, a trust officer or a financial planner, it is crucial for you to attend this very important webinar. In total, you will have 60 minutes of exciting, informative discussion.
