Modern families introduce a range of legal issues around succession, tax and securing family wealth. There are also increasing global connections as people work and live abroad.

This seminar will look at some key points about taking control and avoiding traps when dealing with the complexities of families.

This Seminar will cover the following topics:

  • initial will instructions
  • strategies for estate planning that protects family wealth for the "right" beneficiaries
  • the interaction with family law
  • cohabitation
  • tax traps associated with estate planning for second relationships
  • international succession opportunities and problems
  • the perennial issue of legal rights
  • complex assets that make families complex
  • pension 'inheritance'
  • contentious cases during life and post-death.
  • The event begins at 2pm. Delegate registration is open from 1:30pm.
