Editor's Notes

  1. MODULE 1A Use Overhead #1 - The Truth About Estate Planning Tell the CLIFF YOUNG STORY (optional) – this is used to explain the name of the workshop “The Truth About Estate Planning” and why we call it that – about preconceived notions and having an open mind QUESTION: Let me ask you a question. How many of you have found that there are really only two types of things in life: things that work, and things that don’t work? May I have your permission to be blunt?
  2. MODULE 1B For people who are committed to the long term Whose fault is it? (if the plan doesn’t work)
  3. MODULE 1B For people who are committed to the long term Whose fault is it? (if the plan doesn’t work)
  4. MODULE 1A QUESTION: I have a question for you. How do you know whether an estate plan works? In fact, when do you know whether an estate plan works? Work = meets expectations. How do you know if it meets expectations. “ Snapshot” Story We’re in the business of helping families build plans that work
  5. MODULE 1B For people who are committed to the long term Whose fault is it? (if the plan doesn’t work)
  6. MODULE 1B For people who are committed to the long term Whose fault is it? (if the plan doesn’t work)

  13. MODULE 1A QUESTION: I have a question for you. How do you know whether an estate plan works? In fact, when do you know whether an estate plan works? Work = meets expectations. How do you know if it meets expectations. “ Snapshot” Story We’re in the business of helping families build plans that work
  14. Proper Asset Ownership (boring topic?) We don’t apologize for talking to you about it, because it’s an absolute key to the planning. QUESTION: How many of you have talked with your attorney about how your estate will be charged after you’re gone? Show of hands. Response – (If you haven’t asked the question now…You won’t be asking the questions then!) So who will be asking those questions? So how well-prepared is your family? Do your helpers know what to do? How to do it? How to pay for it? Grieving period is not a good time for education
  15. MODULE 2A Overhead #3 - Counselling vs. Word Processing What passes for estate planning in America today is little more than word processing I’ll be brave enough to say over 90% of “estate” plans are 1 of 3 forms
