While trusts and wills can often be treated as separate legal fields there are several instances in which trusts can be used as a helpful tool in wills.

The expert speaker will analyse the different types of trust and their appropriate uses in different contexts for wills. Insight will be provided regarding how to ensure a trust is appropriately handled and executed even if the will writer passes on. With a consideration of the pros and cons of trusts in wills and the terms needed to ensure a trust remains legally binding, this webinar will be relevant for the newly qualified and practitioners who would like in depth insight into how trusts and wills can function together.

Learning outcomes:

  • Learn the different types of trust and their different functions in the context of a will

  • Discover best practice for writing trusts into wills to ensure they are legally binding and work effectively when the will writer passes

  • Analyse the pros and cons of utilising trusts in wills so as to properly advise clients on their effectiveness
