By popular demand, we are now offering an archived version of the webinar Death and Taxes - When Life's Two Certainties Collide that took place on October 28, 2014.

The planning opportunities and potential complications in planning for those who have a broad base of asset holdings often leave accountants feeling confused and frustrated. Fret no longer.
