Aging Trends

Date: Sunday, August 24, 2025
Time: 2:50 pm

Grey divorce — divorce after age 50 — is on the rise, bringing unique financial, legal, and practical challenges that can have long-term consequences for retirement, estate planning, and overall security. Unlike younger couples, seniors don’t have decades to rebuild wealth, making missteps especially costly. This session will explore key risks, common myths, and critical considerations for professionals working with divorcing clients over 50. We’ll focus on the keys to providing the right support, knowing when to advise and when to refer, and putting systems in place that make you a trusted, go-to resource. With real-world case studies and actionable strategies, you’ll learn how to help clients avoid costly mistakes while making yourself infinitely referable through the quality and clarity of your service.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the biggest financial risks of grey divorce—including pension division, tax implications, and retirement asset allocation—so you can help senior clients avoid costly mistakes.
2. Understand how money moves after divorce and why clients often make panic-driven financial decisions, and learn key strategies to guide them toward smarter, long-term financial stability.
3. Position yourself as a trusted expert by recognizing legal and financial landmines that most advisors miss, allowing you to retain assets under management, grow referrals, and become the go-to professional for clients navigating late-life divorce.
