Am I Married or Not? Common Law Questions Answered
When: Wednesday, January 29th at 5pm MST
Speaker: Katy Ellis
Overview: Colorado is one of only a handful of U.S. states which still recognizes Common Law Marriage. This catches many people by surprise. And, there are so many misconceptions about the actual elements of a valid Common Law Marriage. Join us to learn more.
Post Divorce Tax and Estate Planning
When: Wednesday, February 5th at 5pm MST
Speaker: Rich Harris
Guest Speaker: Carolyn Wiley & Steve Cizik
Overview: Nearly every Divorce has financial implications. Those couples with robust asset portfolios or who have been successful financially oftentimes have taxation and estate planning devices already in place prior to a Divorce. Understanding the implications involved when a tax and estate plan that was meant for two, now goes down to one, is vital in these circumstances. Join us to discuss some of the hot topics to be aware of, the exposures you can pragmatically prepare for and how to protect yourself from potential future pitfalls that may arise long after a Divorce is finalized.
