The “Managed” check box tells the system whether or not you actually manage this particular account as the client’s advisor.
The “Include in Planning” checkbox is a handy feature that allows you to tell the system to ignore an account, either one you’ve entered manually or one that has come in electronically through integration. This allows you to control what gets included in the IPS you are preparing or even what’s included in any long-term life goals planning you are doing. If we turn off this check box, it will be as if this account is invisible on every other screen and in all documents.
The Liquid on Death and Liquid on Emergency, fields where you can choose if the account is liquid on death or not, the same with the Liquid on Emergency. These fields are also used for when you want to create a Estate Liquidity Report from the Will Information screen.
Subject to Probate check box is used for estate planning, probate is one of those items that can sometimes be avoided through joint ownership and other maneuvers.

When this is checked off, the analysis will automatically create a probate expense record based on the probate rate specified on the Planning Assumptions screen.
