Estate planners often advise their clients to use trusts to provide creditor protection for their beneficiaries.  But what actually happens when a creditor or (soon-to-be ex) spouse of a beneficiary actually tries to “pierce the veil” of the trust? How is the trust attacked, and how is it defended? Join us for a an interactive “Crossfire” style panel discussion featuring well-respected attorneys from the fields of trusts and estates, high-net-worth divorce, and bankruptcy. Each practitioner will give a unique and practical perspective on this important issue.

Both planning for and litigating claims against third-party trusts involve complex legal strategies that center on the distinction between separate and marital/commingled property. Attend the October Probate Quarterly CLE to hear planning strategies and tips for litigating claims against third-party trusts.
