Dr. Robert Pokorski 
Vice President & Chief Medical Strategist 
Prudential Individual Life Insurance 
 
Get your long-term thinking caps on as Dr. Pokorski shares his valuable insights regarding retirement security.  Most people think about the financial risks in retirement, such as inflation, investments, and interest rates. What is not as well known is that non-financial events pose as much, if not more, risk to your retirement security. These hard-to-predict events can cause a serious blow to an otherwise solid plan.

Now is the time to implement a plan for your future.  In this session, you will learn valuable lessons like:
  • Avoiding Family Conflicts - trusts for second or successive spouses, and how they should be structured, dealing with disabled or financially irresponsible children, and choosing the right fiduciaries.
  • Strategies for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's - or other conditions requiring long-term care. Should you use a Power of Attorney, a revocable inter vivos trust, or a testamentary trust?
