The 5 Gaps Between Your Advisor, CPA, and Estate Attorney
And What It's Costing You
When your investments, taxes, and estate plan are managed separately, the gaps between them don’t announce themselves. But they have a cost. These are not abstract risks. They are real situations, and in each one, the gaps between separate professionals can become the gap between the plan you think you have and the plan that actually works when it matters.
Some of the most expensive financial problems do not come from bad professionals. They come from the space between them — the space between your advisor, your CPA, and your estate attorney, where each person may do good work, but the intersection often goes unowned.
This presentation walks you through five specific areas where those gaps can create meaningful cost. It will show you where those gaps often live, the kinds of consequences they can create, and five questions individuals and families should be asking right now.
You’ll learn:
- Why “getting everyone to talk” is not enough — and what an integrated planning structure actually looks like
- Five costly gaps in plans that look fine on the surface — across tax, timing, liquidity, retirement income, and estate planning
- Five questions to ask right now to find out whether your plan is truly aligned or only appears to be
- What to do if you find a gap — and why many people do not spot these issues until the worst possible moment
If You Have Capable Professionals and Everything Looks Fine, Watch This Webinar.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER
Five Areas Where Well-Made Plans Quietly Break Down
Many individuals and families with significant wealth have capable professionals. The problem isn’t the professionals. It’s the space between them. This webinar walks you through five specific areas where that space can create meaningful cost.
01
The Drift Problem
How separate, reasonable decisions made in the same year quietly stack into avoidable tax cost — and an estate plan that slowly falls out of alignment with the accounts it’s supposed to govern.
02
The Sequencing Rule
There’s a window in most people’s financial lives that’s either open right now or already closed. Doing the right thing in the wrong order can be surprisingly costly — sometimes nearly as costly as doing the wrong thing entirely.
03
The Liquidity Trap
When you sell something big — a property, options, a business interest — many of the options that exist before the signature disappear once it’s signed. This section shows what to ask before, not after.
04
Retirement Income Design
How you take money out in retirement isn’t just a cash-flow question. It can significantly affect what you pay in taxes across three distinct phases — and what your spouse may face when filing alone.
05
The Estate Gap
A plan on paper can be well drafted and still fail to reach the money it was designed to protect. This section shows what “a plan on the shelf” looks like versus a plan that is actually kept current.
