Restructuring Trusts—OSB CLE Quick Call (Replay)
Brought to you in partnership with Webcredenza, a professional education broadcast network



1 General CLE credit

When a trust is formed, it is impossible to foresee the many ways in which basic facts and assumptions that formed the basis of the trust may change—often dramatically. Family businesses may fail or change substantially, or core assets may deplete through misuse of disruptive market shifts. Families themselves may change composition radically or be simply ungovernable in a single trust. Tax laws change and make certain trusts extremely tax-inefficient. This program discusses why certain trusts should be restructured, the methods by which those changes can be made, and issues involved for fiduciaries and others.

  • Circumstances when it makes sense to restructure a trust
  • Methods available for restructuring—when you can do it administratively and when you need a court order
  • Restructuring trusts for tax efficiency, including the GSTT
  • Restructuring to reflect changes in a family business or family composition
  • Restructuring to cure errors in trust documents
  • Issues for fiduciaries
