Overview

What is the difference between “joint with rights of survivorship” and “tenants in common”? What is a revocable living trust and how do we document it? Do we really need a corporate resolution? How do we open accounts for minors?

Have you or someone at your institution asked these questions and others like them? If so, don’t miss this seminar. The focus is on the day the account is opened. It provides hard to get state law requirements for ownership and documentation. Attendees learn the “why” behind standard operating procedures. The program also covers CIP procedures and IRS Reporting compliance issues. The manual and the presentation suggest the procedures for standardizing the account opening process. The speaker uses “plain language” and “real-world” examples.
