OBA Trusts and Estates Law PROGRAM | 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM
Estate administration rarely proceeds without complication. Join us to examine some of the most challenging and emerging issues facing estate professionals, with a focus on identifying risk early and navigating problems effectively when they arise. We’ll unravel:
- Exposure to U.S. tax filing and reporting obligations—even for Canadian residents who do not own U.S. real estate—and practical considerations when administering assets held abroad
- Evolving and sensitive areas such as genetic materials and posthumous conception, including planning strategies to avoid disputes and guidance on resolving conflicts if they arise
- Absentee proceedings, Declarations of Death, and Benjamin Orders, with reference to recent case law and the executor’s duty to make reasonable efforts to locate heirs
- How to manage estates involving incapable beneficiaries who lack substitute decision-makers, including recent changes to Rule 7 and the approval of settlements involving incapable persons.
Designed specifically for trusts and estates practitioners, you’ll get practical guidance on navigating complexity with confidence and diligence. Register now!
