Shownotes

On this episode, join Partners Erin Nicholls and Michael Clear as they dive into a discussion on jurisdiction selection in the context of advanced planning strategies. What does it mean to select a jurisdiction when establishing a trust, and what benefits are available when considering one jurisdiction over another? Erin and Michael address these questions and more, with a primary focus on the following factors: (i) the rule against perpetuities, (ii) bifurcation of trustee duties, and (iii) income tax implications. These and other factors help to determine which jurisdiction is best suited to address a client’s specific goals.

 

There is a lot to consider when selecting a jurisdiction for a trust, so tune into this episode to learn more and be sure to reach out to the Wiggin and Dana’s Private Client Services team to further assist.
