Dynasty Trusts: How They Work, Why They're So Powerful


Description
The Dynasty Trust is an integral part of any estate planner's practice. But not all Dynasty Trusts are created equal. There are different ways to design and draft a Dynasty Trust. Which situs should be used, and why? How do we design an irrevocable Dynasty Trust to provide the greatest degree of beneficiary control and the greatest degree of creditor and divorce protection, yet at the same time provide for flexibility to make changes? And what might Congress do to Dynasty Trusts? This presentation is a must for every attorney, CPA, financial advisor and trust officer who wishes to have a solid understanding of the Dynasty Trust concepts.
