Course Description
A poor settlement can hurt your client emotionally, financially, and tax-wise, perhaps for a very long time! As a financial professional, you need to know how to assist your clients by helping them to gain the best situation from a no-win situation. You need to know ways to broach the subject with these clients to help assist them before, during, and after the end of the marriage. In this course, Jeffrey Rattiner will teach you how to navigate the emotionally-charged and financially-complex issues that surround divorce. You’ll come away with an understanding of the strategies to employ during the divorce and knowledge of what your ultimate goals should be. Special attention is given to financial, tax, retirement, valuation, and investment strategies that help minimize the damage in the unfortunate occurrence of a client getting divorced.
