8:00 am to 9:45 am

Our Presentation:

As Halloween approaches, our thoughts turn to ghosts and ghouls and the always frightening topic of what happens to plan benefits when someone dies.  We will cover all manner of spooky death related topics: beneficiary designations (or the lack of same); processing death distributions; disputes among potential death beneficiaries, benefit disclaimers, required minimum distributions (including the current proposed regulations); death related provisions in plan documents; and of critical importance – will there be another Journey cover in the final season of Stranger Things?

Our Speaker:
