With the client bases of many practitioners ageing, the complexities of asset holdings and family arrangements increasing, and the highest ever intergenerational wealth transfers now occurring, practitioners need to invest time in developing an understanding of the taxation of deceased estates. This continues to be an important market and opportunity for many professionals, but equally one that has seen an unprecedented growth in litigation. It therefore presents risks that practitioners must manage.
The organising committee worked hard to put together a compelling program that included current relevant topics for a range of practitioners. This year’s technical program addressed a range of topical content including family trust elections, BDBNs – responsibility, drafting, other issues, gift & loans in estates, cross-border deceased estates, navigating the digital afterlife plus much more.
This was a must-attend conference for all tax and legal practitioners involved in succession planning and estate administration.
