What this session will cover

In this session, we will explore some of the current themes in offshore trust litigation, including:

  • Common causes of disputes
  • The trustee’s perspective – what happens when a family goes to war?
  • Capacity to make decisions – settlors, office holders and the scope of trustees’ powers
  • Succession, fact or fiction? Trust disputes involving family businesses
    Transparency – can trust disputes ever remain private?
  • Blessings, surrenders and directions – what steps can a trustee take?
