The Intersection of Family Law and Trusts: What every practitioner should know Monday, November 26, 2007 More and more, married couples are making use of different types of trusts to handle complex issues. Maintaining life insurance, planning for a child’s education and caring for someone with special needs are just some of the instances where a trust can help manage these financial concerns. When a couple divorces, the maintenance of such trusts can become even more complex. It is important for practitioners to understand the function and administration of these trusts and to know how to identify some of the common issues that present themselves in a divorce. This program will discuss how life insurance, educational and special needs trusts are impacted by divorce. Requests for alimony and child support can create a host of complicated tax and estate administration issues. The panel for this program, which includes a judge and two experienced practitioners in estate planning and family law, will provide an overview on and address some of the key points surrounding the various types of special trusts. Topics will include:
Panelists Hon. Edward F. Donnelly, Jr. Mary H. Schmidt, Esq. Matthew J. Marcus, Esq.
