Presenter:

Vicki Ammundsen, Director, Vicki Ammundsen Trust Law

Thursday, 18 July from 10.30am – 11.30am NZT

This practically focused webinar will explore the proper exercise of trustee discretion when one or more of the trustees is a beneficiary of the trust. We will also have a Q&A session at the end addressing pre-submitted questions from the audience.

In this session, we will consider how trustee decisions can reflect “… discretion being exercised with an entire absence of indirect motive, with honesty of intention, and with a fair consideration of the subject.”

We will also provide practical guidance regarding recording decisions where a trustee / beneficiary cannot be party to the decision by reference to the CCH precedent trustee resolution and the recent High Court decision in Cain v Martin.

Who should attend:

Lawyers and accountants who advise or support trustees, trust administrators, financial advisers who support trustees, trustees and trust advisers

Key takeaways:

  • Step-by-step guidance to a proper decision making process
  • Practical guidance regarding correctly recording decisions in trustee resolutions and;
  • How to record a decision when one or more trustees are body corporates.
