Yet many lawyers receive little practical guidance on when to recommend them\, how to select the right trust for a client’s objectives\, and how to incorporate them effectively into estate planning strategies. In this highly practical presentation\, experienced trusts and estates practitioner Lynne Butler focuses on the real-world decisions involved in using inter vivos trusts. You’ll examine the most commonly used trust structures\, learn when each trust is appropriate\, how it should be structured\, which assets belong in a trust\, the tax implications to consider\, and the practical issues that can affect a trust’s effectiveness. Rather than a review of trust law\, the session emphasizes the planning decisions lawyers face when advising clients. Among the questions Lynne will attempt to answer are: When should I recommend a trust instead of leaving assets by will? What tax issues should be considered before recommending a trust? When is a trust not the right solution? Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your trust planning skills and gain practical guidance you can apply with your next client! \n\n\nMeet Your Presenter\nLynne Butler is a writer and retired mediator and lawyer. She graduated from UBC Law School and was called to the Bar in Alberta in 1986. After more than 20 years\, thousands of wills drawn and hundreds of estates probated\, Lynne joined the estates department of a leading trust company for a further seven years. She subsequently practiced law in her home province of Newfoundland and Labrador\, working exclusively in wills\, estates\, probate\, elder law\, and trusts. Lynne has been interviewed by Global TV\, BNN\, CBC Radio\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Globe & Mail\, the Vancouver Province\, the Edmonton Journal\, the Toronto Star and the Montreal Gazette\, among other media. She is the former co-host of The Law Show and is the author of ten books about estate planning.
