17th Annual Estate Planning Conference e-book

Estate planners often have to find a balance between their clients' need for security and control versus the necessity for accommodating change. It's not always easy. This year's annual estate planning conference will cover this balancing act, along with other vital topics estate planners regularly encounter, such as where superannuation sits in the estate plan, distribution dilemmas and the taxation of trusts, as well as challenging discretionary trust decisions.
