A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the September 2023 webcast, Practical Advice: Basics of Drafting Trusts; Creating and Drafting with Examples.
What are the advantages of using a trust, rather than a will, to control the disposition of property at death and select the person designated to execute the decedent’s wishes? Are there still tax reasons to create revocable trusts? What kinds of irrevocable trusts are proper for the basic estate plan?
This seminar covers the important issues in drafting trust documents, as well as creating and drafting various trusts. The discussion includes how irrevocable trusts differ from revocable trusts and also the different types of trusts and the clauses that make them unique, including ILITs, IDGTs, SNT, Simple Irrevocable Spendthrift Trust, QPERT, and more. In addition, our experienced speaker reviews some of the more common provisions found in trusts.
