Overview
The sixth course in the DMA™-Family Business Services Specialist Designation.
The student will learn about basic trust mechanics, being able to distinguish the key parties to a trust, the legal status a trust enjoys, how to use trusts to exert control, and most important, how the new rules around bare trust filings and capital gains inclusion rates will impact trust structures. Through case studies, you will demonstrate the ability to identify client situations where income tax savings can be generated. This course allows advisors to develop a consistent process for trust planning that looks at tax efficiency of many different kinds of trusts (bare trusts, inter vivos, charitable remainder, Alter Ego and joint partner, insurance and RRSP, spousal trusts as well as trusts for disabled beneficiaries) and provide alternatives to trust structures in tax and estate planning as well.
