About the Seminar - Computer Based Audio ONLY programs (No Video) - DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR CLE BIG TICKET
In recent years, many states have begun to allow self-settled spendthrift trusts. These new trusts allow the settlor to obtain the benefits of offshore asset protection trusts without the complexity, cost, and byzantine application of foreign law. A settlor can shield assets from his or her creditors or tort claimants, remove those assets from his or her gross estate, and obtain other tax and non-tax benefits. Recent IRS guidance seems to support the tax benefits of these trusts. Though more accessible than offshore trusts, domestic asset protection trusts still come with risk. This program will provide you with a practical guide to using self-settled spendthrift trusts and drafting their instruments.
-What are domestic asset protection trusts?
-When are they best used and what are the risks?
-What states allow these trusts and subject to what limits?
-How do domestic trusts and offshore trust compare?
-What are the tax benefits and risks of thee trusts?
