Trust Series 2024 - Beneficiary rights - 12 June 2024 (On Demand)

Description

The hostile beneficiary.

The Trusts Act presumption regarding disclosure of trust information are well understood, but not always well managed.

This webinar will provide an in-depth study of beneficiary rights in the context of a disgruntled and disaffected beneficiary.

Topics covered include:

  • The relevance of beneficiary conduct to costs
  • Trustee partiality
  • Loss of rights through delay
  • Attempt at a rear-guard action using a special trust adviser
  • Appointing a receiver to a trust
  • Trust investigations from the beneficiary perspective, and
  • The trustee beneficiary

Attendees will receive a paper that includes case notes, relevant excerpts from the Trusts Act and further commentary.

HIGHLIGHTS - 
This webinar, which will conclude with a question and answer section, will focus on recent case law to explore beneficiary rights in light of contemporary considerations.

WHY ATTEND- 
Beneficiaries are fundamental to a valid trust. Although modern discretionary trusts commonly allow some beneficiaries to be favoured over others, it is important for beneficiaries and their advisers to have a good understanding of beneficiary rights and how these rights can be compromised.
