Course Description

Estate planers continue to emphasize trusts in their planning practices. They are being used for a wide variety of clients – not only the most wealthy, but also for a much broader part of the population. Why? Issues of financial management, asset protection, maturity concerns, matrimonial problems and tax planning can all be addressed with the use of trusts. This Course addresses why trusts are useful and necessary, and provides a survey of a wide range of trusts that are used in all aspects of planning, including simple, complex and grantor trusts, living trusts, life insurance and retirement trusts, trusts to be used in business succession planning, trusts to anticipate possible changes in the tax law, trusts for S corporation shareholders, trusts to be used in charitable planning, and special needs trusts. When they should be used by planners and clients as well as their income, gift, estate and GST tax consequences will be discussed.
