Presentation Description: Generally, most clients want the same things: control; use and enjoyment of their assets until death and protection of their assets from potential claimants.  They also want all (or most) of these benefits for their family members or other loved ones.

This presentation will discuss planning strategies using the Dynasty Trust as a multi-generation planning “process” to insulate the family wealth from substantial and unnecessary erosion that is generally inherent in most planning while avoiding the complexities that clients abhor. 

Designed, operated and managed efficiently, the Dynasty Trust will provide all of the virtues and shelter benefits of ILITs, FLPs, APTs, QPRTs, Pre-Nups, and Rev Trusts without the negative features such as prohibited controls and restricted beneficial enjoyment.  Because the shelter benefits can be obtained with loss of controls, the Dynasty Trust should be the “Centerpiece” of the family wealth plan.
