Why are there so many different types of business entities? What is the securest way to determine who can transact on a business account – especially when owed by another entity? Verifying if a business is legitimate and who has the authority to transact business on behalf of an entity can be challenging. When can a business use the owner's SSN vs. an EIN? When is a partnership agreement, bylaws, or operating agreement needed? Beneficial Ownership requirements are discussed as well as documenting complicated business structures. In this session, Part II of a three-part series, participants will gain confidence and a clear understanding of the regulatory, compliance, documentation, and proper TIN requirements for opening a business account.

Why are living trusts so popular? What is a Testamentary Trust? It never fails to raise panic when someone dumps a binder full of legal documents on your desk and requests to open a trust account, estate account, or an account for a minor. To compound the complexity, on many occasions, the actual owner of the funds is not present. This two-hour comprehensive webinar, Part III of a three-part series, will discuss the responsibilities of collecting appropriate documentation, correctly titling accounts, and allowing proper access to Trust, Fiduciary and Minor accounts not only during lifetime but at the death of a signer as well.
