THE INTERSECTION OF AN INCOMPETENT BENEFICIARY, A DEPLETING BUSINESS ASSET, A PROBABLE LARGE ESTATE TAX, AND FAMILY DISFUNCTION
Yes, this is what we officially call a "Hairy" case! Join Ann and David as they consider how to manage a convoluted case where the Fiduciary is facing a multitude of converging issues, including:
- A business that is losing value ("Moving Parts, Inc.");
- A key person component held by the majority shareholder with a shortened life span (1-2 years);
- A healthy spouse who is desiring divorce and has no business control;
- The potential for a heavy estate tax liability now, worsening with tax law changes;
- Heirs who are scared or nervous, don't get along, and may want to exert more influence in the family, business, and handling of the estate.
Come hang out with your fellow EPI members as we all work together to decide what is our business owner to do and how should we, as the fiduciaries, advisor her?
Learning Objectives:
- To whom do we owe legal or fiduciary duty and in what order of priority?
- Understand the various Fiduciary Duties, such as:
- Duty of Loyalty
- Duty of Impartiality
- Duty of Confidentiality
- Duty to Disclose/Inform
- Duty of Care and Preservation of Assets
- Duty to Defend and Enforce Claims
About our Presenters:
Hear from industry experts, Ann Rosevear, President and Chief Trust Officer for Dunham Trust Company, and David Osgood, Senior Trust Officer for Dunham Trust Company.
