IT'S ALL GREEK TO ME: EXPLAINING TAX-DRIVEN TRUST

PROVISIONS FOR NON-TAX PROFESSIONALS

CHRISTIAN KELSO

Sponsored by Value, Inc., The Weeks Law Firm and Argent Trust

Modern trust instruments contain many provisions which may baffle the professional who does not regularly practice in the area of transfer tax.  Indeed, much of the language common to US trust is completely tax driven.  And yet, many practitioners, be they in the legal or other professions, do not fully comprehend the basis of these provisions or their function.  This presentation is designed to explain these provisions, providing not only a historical perspective, but also practical information regarding their ultimate effect.  Thus, the goal of the presentation is that the attendee will be able to better understand trust instruments and their impact on clients' lives. Christian S. Kelso is an equity partner at the Dallas law firm of Farrow-Gillespie Heath Wilmoth LLP where he practices in the areas of estate planning, wealth preservation and transfer, probate, tax and transactional corporate law.  His primary focus is finding practical solutions for families and businesses to avoid costly, and often heartbreaking disputes in both the courtroom and the living room.  Christian is a counselor who is dedicated to making the law work for his clients and helping them understand how best to address the legal issues they face. He is a native Dallasite, having attended St. Mark’s School of Texas for twelve years before moving on to the University of Texas at Austin.  Christian came back to Dallas for both his J.D. and LL.M. (Taxation), which he received at Southern Methodist University.  

There are pending continuing education credits for this meeting.. The handout will be available on the website under the document library a few days prior to the presentation.
