INVESTING UNDER THE PRUDENT INVESTOR ACT

LORI ASHMORE PETERS

Sponsored by North Dallas Bank & Trust Co.

 

The presentation will discuss the origins of the prudence standards for trusts and the prior legislation, as well as the change from the Prudent Man Rule to the current Prudent Investor Act.  It will further discuss the 5 objectives of the Act and lastly the liability of a Trustee with regard to the Act. Although the Uniform Prudent Investor Act of Texas became effective in 2004, it is still imperative for estate planning professionals to understand the scope and breadth of the Act as it pertains to those professionals and their clients. Attendees may expect to gain knowledge of the obligations, powers, and authorities granted to them by the Act. Attendees may also expect to learn about the areas in which many professionals or trustees run afoul of the Act and will be provided with information designed to assist them in recognizing any potential liabilities that may exist. .
