Trusts – Opportunities and Limitations:
Trusts are put into place for many reasons including satisfying income tax and estate planning objectives. However, new income tax reporting requirements and changes to disclosure requirements may make trusts less desirable in some situations. During this session we will go through some of the estate and income tax benefits of trusts, discuss the limitations in the use of trusts and discuss some of the risk areas seen in the practice of implementing trusts and the ongoing management and maintenance of trusts.
