Incentive Trusts:
a Panacea or a Problem
 
The presentation will cover the use of incentive trusts to encourage or discourage the behavior of beneficiaries.  It will answer the following questions:  What are the client's objectives when creating trusts for his or her children and grandchildren?  Are such trusts effective in accomplishing the grantor's objectives?  Are there better ways to achieve these objectives?   How to structure a trust to carry out the client's purposes?  The discussion will also review the various types of trusts that are used to save taxes, protect assets, and provide professional management.
