You May Retain Management of the Funds.
Another benefit to the professional advisor is that he/she may retain management of their client’s assets (of $500,000 or more), for as long as 5 years after the donor’s death) as a strategy preferred by the donor. Helping your client to realize their dreams of making a difference strengthens the bond between the client and the advisor.
