Expert Network Team

Welcome to the ENT!

Jeff Krommendyk and Karl Frank discuss the emotional and practical sides of helping an adulting child move out of the house. Speaking from experience, the dads discuss

How do you help a young adult move into an apartment when he is not motivated to go to a traditional four-year college? And also, helping a young adult make the leap to a college dorm, what are some practical tips? What do you do about insurance, including property and auto insurance? What about the young adult who leaves college and gets a place of their own? Jeff and Karl are looking forward to both being empty nesters, with successful young adult children. This brief podcast may help propel your family to the next stage!

Nathan Merrill, attorney with Goodspeed Merrill, answers a series of common questions that Karl Frank, at A&I Wealth Management, receives on a regular basis. These include:

• 8 min: Inherited a home in a trust, can I use the step-up in basis? Can I use the $250k exemption from taxes?
• 12 min: Planning for modern families, in particular gay couples, and inheritance. Should I use a trust?
• 15 min: Inheriting IRAs and Roth IRAs in trust? Pros and cons? Karl has a significant "con"--the paperwork it creates for the financial advisor and non-spouse inheritor!
• 20 min: Owning real estate in different states when you die, any advice to simplify all this?
• 25 min: Gifting more than the gifting limit, but well below the lifetime gifting limit. Should I just file a gift tax return every year (no!) or should I do some other kind of planning (yes!)?

In the 100th episode of the Expert Network Team Podcast, Nathan Merrill, Jeff Krommendyk and Karl Frank reflect upon some of their favorite podcasts, lessons learned from each other, and deliver the messages they feel business owners and successful people need to hear.

Some technical episodes include episode 1: estate planning essentials, episodes 58 and 59: When to take an estate into probate and guardianship and conservatorship. 

Books of interest, episode 33, and least favorite words, episode 11, are favorites. 

Company culture, episodes 29 and 32, particularly managing the next generation of workers, episode 60.

We love the 80’s! Episodes beginning with the 80’s include good inheritor of wealth, wealth is a disruptor, and many discussions about more than just maximizing money and reducing taxes. Overall discussions of meaning, purpose, and transferring to our loved ones more than just money are the best podcasts, in the our opinion. 

And so that is a trend we will continue. Constancy, says Nate, requires change. One incredible differentiating benefit we each bring to each of our clients is the Expert Network Team and additional resources of each other’s teams, says Jeff. And Karl says, we want to make a significant impact in the lives of people who are making an impact, and want to make an even bigger impact in the future.
