Whilst trusts are commonly used for a wide variety of purposes, there are a surprising number of them with serious problems.  The impact of this on clients can be catastrophic.  This session will provide practical guidance and examine:

  • What are the basic requirements to ensure that you have a valid trust structure?
  • Can the same person be Trustee, Appointor, Guardian and a beneficiary?
  • Some common misconceptions of what you can and can’t do in establishing a trust.
  • Rectifying initial problems.
  • Options if a trust deed cannot be found.
  • The use of a company as Appointor or Guardian
  • Guidance on trusts that have exceeded their vesting date.
  • Trusts coming to the end of the 80 year perpetuity period.
  • Useful cases.

The session will provide insights from experienced legal and accounting practitioners.
