Trusts have become extremely valuable tools when planning for the continuance of a person's estate, and are often used in business succession planning as well. For example, discretionary trusts are one of the most flexible tax planning tools available. However, there are many types of trusts, and each can be used to tailor specific planning needs.



Just as trusts are a valuable tool, there are also many tax and legal traps that one needs to be cognizant of when using them in client situations. For example, the very creation of the trust can be particularly troublesome if it is not set up with the correct attributes or if assets are not transferred to it correctly.

This 2 hour webinar will provide a practical and complete overview of the legal definitions and considerations of various trust types, as well as reviewing important tax considerations when planning with trusts. Examples of suggested tax planning structures and related tips will also be provided.



More specifically, topics covered will include:

• What elements are required for a properly created trust
• Tax issues to review when creating a trust and in particular the tax attribution rules
• Review of types of trusts used in estate and business planning - including insurance trusts, spendthrift trusts, asset protection trusts, private foundation trusts and trusts created for probate and estate tax minimization and income splitting
• Change of trustees - change of control from a tax perspective
• What are the tax and other limitations of amending a trust once created
• What ongoing obligations do trustees have to beneficiaries, including reporting and trust accounting
