Presenter: Julie Van der Velde, VdV Legal
Chair: Michael Magarey, Barrister

This session considers some trust deed provisions which can significantly affect trustee liabilities, risks, taxation and stamp duties. The paper challenges the conventional wisdom around drafting broad beneficiary clauses and outlines the potential disadvantages of these clauses. It also considers some of the rules around trustee powers, the proper law of a deed and potential tax consequences of being considered a foreign trust. Finally, we look at how accountants deal with inter vivos and testamentary trust deeds and how drafting impacts on this.
