Webinar - Fixing Family Trust Deeds - Mistakes made pre and post establishing a Trust

1 CPD Point – Substantive Law

Has your client read their Family Trust Deed? The chances are, they have not. This becomes apparent when a bank or accountant picks up obvious errors in the Trust Deed that have been present for quite some time. How to identify these errors and what to do about them without causing even more issues can be a challenging exercise.

In this Webinar, Fixing Family Trust deeds - mistakes made pre and post establishing a Trust, trust lawyer, John Wojtowicz, discusses some of the common mistakes encountered with Family Trusts, when they become an issue and what to do about them.

In this Webinar, John will cover:

• Common mistakes seen in establishing the Trust;
• Common mistakes seen post establishment of the Trust;
• Rectifications versus variations of the Trust Deed;
• Restrictions on varying the Trust Deed;
• Issues with circular distributions to related Trusts;
• Overview of ATO Private Rulings;
• Trust resettlements; and
• Dealing with lost Trust Deeds.

This webinar is suitable for lawyers, accountants and other professional advisers and is pitched at an intermediate level. It is ideal for any professional with clients who have Family Trusts.
