This CLE course will provide trusts and estates counsel an in-depth analysis of key challenges in trust administration. The panel will discuss complex issues encountered by practitioners, dividing and distributing trust assets, tax planning and reporting challenges, and making final distributions. The panel will also discuss key issues involving loans to beneficiaries, investments, disbursing fees and expenses, and other challenges for trusts and estates counsel.

Description

Trust administration can present a wide range of issues to trusts and estates counsel. Simple matters that relate to the trustee's duties and powers are often deceptively challenging.

Trustee actions now face heightened scrutiny during these uncertain times as beneficiaries will need their inheritance to stay afloat. Counsel must consider the powers to direct and delegate, control and protect trust assets, as well as disclosure and notice requirements. Dividing trust assets, determining and disbursing fees and expenses, and distributing to beneficiaries must also be addressed.

Listen as our authoritative panel of trust and estate planning practitioners highlights key issues that arise in trust administration and best practices in exercising trustee duties and powers.
