ABOUT TRINITY REVERSE MORTGAGE
Michael Fullam comes to the Reverse home mortgage industry with 20 years experience in Accounting & Taxation. After selling his practice, he decided to open a business that educated seniors on the benefits of Reverse home mortgages. When he entered the field, Michael discovered he needed to familiarize himself with seniors' challenges and lifestyle. For perspective, and to better counsel them on a mortgage product suited to their needs, he became a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA). There is a code of ethics and principals for all who are in good standing with the society of Certified Senior Advisors. If a reverse home mortgage does not perfectly fit a client's needs, he recommends either a traditional mortgage refinance or a consultation with a financial advisor or accountant. In some cases, clients are referred to a trust attorney who sets up an instrument to pass all remaining equity to beneficiaries without going through Probate.
A CSA is a professional - with a plus. The CSA designation is a universal supplement to anyone who works with seniors. CSAs understand and communicate with seniors on their terms on the subjects that most influence their lives. And if they can't help seniors directly, CSAs know how to find them the help needed. Other designations teach about products or professions. CSA's teach about people. Please visit the CSA website: http://www.society-csa.com/
The National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) is the professional society representing some 40,000 Enrolled Agents (EAs) nationwide. The 11,000 members are licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including examination, collection, and appeals functions. While the Enrolled Agent license was created in 1884 and has a long and storied past, today's EAs are the only tax professionals tested by IRS on their knowledge of tax law and regulations. They provide tax preparation, representation, tax planning, and other financial services to millions of individual and business taxpayers. EAs adhere to a code of ethics and professional conduct and are required by IRS to take Continuing Professional Education. Like Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), Treasury Circular 230 governs EAs in their practice before the IRS.
