Webinar On Demand - Testamentary Trusts 101

1 CPD Point – Substantive Law

When reviewing your client's Estate Planning requirements, what type of Will is going to be most appropriate? Is a simple Will going to be sufficient, or would a Testamentary Trust be more suitable? Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all solution. Understanding how a Testamentary Trust works is a vital first step in guiding your client through their Estate Planning needs.

In this Webinar, Testamentary Trusts 101, John Wojtowicz, gives a basic rundown of Testamentary Trusts - how they work, what are the advantages and disadvantages, and when are they appropriate.

In this Webinar, John will cover:

• What is a testamentary trust;
• Advantages/disadvantages - review of taxation benefits and asset protection benefits;
• How do they wok;
• Key positions in the trust;
• Key clauses in the trust;
• Adding capital to the trust post establishment; and
• Control of the trust.

This webinar is suitable for lawyers, accountants and other professional advisers and is pitched at an entry level. It is ideal for any professional looking to identify and service their clients' Estate Planning needs.
