The Art of Decanting, and NJ which doesn’t have a decanting statute – opportunities and options for professionals and clients

Date: Wednesday, November 8, 2017
Time: 11:30am - 1:45pm
Location: Bacari Grill
Speaker: Raymond C. Radigan

Decanting has been one of the hottest topics in recent years. Has a client said to you “I want to change that” trust – that “irrevocable” – that we did? Have you wanted to do something new, or better, with an irrevocable trust that you did for a client in the past? Life can throw all of us – both clients and professionals – curveballs. Circumstances change. Sometimes drastically. Maybe one of the client’s children didn’t turn out the way the parents had hoped. Unanticipated circumstances. Divorce, drugs, alcohol, lawsuits, creditors, and the list goes on.

 

However, there are innumerable reasons our clients – and perhaps you as a professional – would like a “do over” so to speak. Even if not, perhaps today there is something new and something better for your client. Also, what states can you decant from? What states should you decant to? What can and can’t you do? The questions are endless. We now have the Uniform Trust Code here in New Jersey. Decanting is becoming more popular as more clients are looking to do new things, other things, and better things! This opens the door to new and powerful ideas and opportunities – and reasons for us as professionals to contact our clients.

Ray Radigan, Senior Vice President, Head of Private Trust and Private Client Group, from the TD Bank Private Client Wealth Management Group, is going to present on this exciting and hot topic. You will gain some great insight – and some excellent ideas -- so that you can contact clients today! Don’t miss this exciting event.
