Trusts have been an effective estate planning tool for centuries. But they have taken a beating in recent years, with allegations that they are simply a tool of the wealthy to avoid taxes, of criminals to launder money, and of terrorists.
Learn how new reporting requirements at both the federal and provincial level affect trust planning, and how to use overriding powers to maintain flexibility in the future. Advising trustees on substantive and administrative matters, as well as considerations for dealing with beneficiaries, will be covered.
The course will provide you with the best practices to better equip you in advising clients in this complex area.
After taking this program, you will:
- understand how to use trusts as an estate planning tool
- gain knowledge of the recent changes to reporting requirements
- understand issues with trusteeship, settling property, overriding powers, non-BC trusts, and choosing beneficiaries
- receive practice tips for advising clients regarding trusts
