Client extranet
For the last three we have offered clients a free extranet site for
any active file. Generally, we use this for real estate, trust
administration or probate matters. It has proven very popular and
clients love it. Everyone gets notice by e-mail anytime a
message is posted to the site or a file is uploaded. The software was
recently updated so that one does not need to log into the extranet to
post a reply; it can be done from your email program. The
extranet helps client stay up to date on their cases.
This
short video shows how the extranet works.
There is no extra charge for establishing a site.
IRA Protection Trust
New type of trust allows "stretch out" of IRA for
heirs, protects IRA from divorce, creditors and mismanagement
 The IRS
recently allowed the IRA Protection Trust. Previously, it was
difficult, if not impossible, to leave an IRA account to a trust and
to allow heirs to stretch out payments from the IRA over their life
expectancies. Now, it is possible to do so using the IRA
Protection Trust.
