Conversations That Matter: Educating Clients about Non-Binding Letters of Wishes
Course Information
Content Level: Foundational to Intermediate
NAPFA Subject Area: F-Estate Planning
Course Description
Introducing and educating clients about non-binding side documents as a component of their estate plan is vital to determining if these vehicles of intentional communication to loved ones, heirs, successors, or trustees are important for either personal or practical reasons. When you can talk to clients about legacy in the context of their most important relationships and provide meaningful strategies for addressing them, you gain a deeper understanding of clients’ values and priorities and meet their needs at a profoundly high level.
