This full-day program reviews resources most commonly found in Chronic Care cases, including stocks, bonds, and brokerage accounts. A method for tracking assets moved from one investment instrument to another (selling stock in one brokerage account, moving the resulting funds to a bank account or re- investing the money into other stocks or bonds) will be reviewed for use in identifying transfers during the look-back period.
