Brown Bag: Estate Planning/Administration

Speaker: Margaret M. Hand

Wendel, Rosen, Black & Dean LLP
1111 Broadway, 19th Floor, Oakland, CA

California law has long recognized a settlor’s right to restrict a beneficiary’s use of trust assets. Restraints on alienation, spendthrift clauses, shutdown clauses and wholly discretionary trusts are a few of the tools settlors may use when creating a trust for the benefit of someone likely to have creditor problems. Using colorful stories about deadbeat beneficiaries, Margaret M. Hand will discuss the use of these tools, describe those circumstances in which they work well and describe those circumstances in which they are of limited or no use.

RSVP REQUIRED BY 10AM JULY 10.

It’s critical that the couple understand and adhere to the rules governing their acts. Married clients often establish a Family Trust to control the disposition of their assets During their lifetimes, clients may transmute (that is, change the form of) property, whether from separate to community, from community to separate or from the separate property of one spouse to the separate property of the other spouse. A transmutation isn’t valid unless made in writing by an express declaration that’s made, joined in, consented to or accepted by the spouse whose interest in the property is adversely affected. The writing must contain language that expressly states that the characterization or ownership of the property is being changed.
