Special Tax & Superannuation topics 2022-23 - Cognitive decline, your clients, your risks
30% of Australians aged over 80 suffer from some form of dementia. The loss of capacity across a generation that has accumulated $3.5 trillion in assets raises serious issues for individuals, their families and their trusted advisers.
This session, crafted by industry experts, will provide advisers with key tools to help clients and their families through this crucial juncture.
After successful completion of this topic, participants should be able to:
- Explain the nature of cognitive decline and the legal ramifications that stem from this classification
- Identify common red-flags around an individuals' cognitive decline and identify potential financial elder abuse
- Manage client affairs where there is a risk of cognitive decline as well as actual diagnosed loss of legal capacity; and
- Apply this knowledge to realistic client scenarios.
This session forms part of the Special Tax & Superannuation Topics Series. These concise 1.5-hour sessions have been specifically designed for an online platform to ensure training is informative, immersive and even fun. These sessions will:
- Ensure you get the critical knowledge you need while minimising your time out of the office.
- Assist you in providing proactive tax and superannuation advice and identifying tax planning opportunities early
- Help you avoid any possible traps and pitfalls
- Give you answers to the questions most relevant to you.
