After the Plan: Helping Your Clients Become The Best Trustees They Can Be and Make the Most of the Trusts You've Created for Them
PLEASE NOTE NEW LOCATION
About the Program:
How often do you set up a trust naming an individual trustee or co-trustee?
Do you wonder what happens after your work is done, and do you worry whether your plans might be thwarted because the individual named as trustee doesn't know what it means to be a trustee, and how to do it well?
In this session, Patricia Angus, a thought leader in multi-generational family governance and wealth, and author of a plain-English primer on trustee duties, will discuss what she calls the "perfect storm" -- a convergence of the increased use of trusts, combined with the historic inter-generational wealth transfer, colliding with unprecedented numbers of trustees who are inadequately educated on their duties and responsibilities. She will discuss how to combine "heart" and "mind" in helping clients get started as trustees or to refresh their learning if they're already serving in that role. She will specifically address the concerns of lawyers, financial advisors, and other professionals who wish to set their clients up for success.
