With  Ian Giroday SHOW NOTES EPISODE 20: * The Executor is to be neutral with respect to a wills variation claim. * An executor should file a response stating that they intend to be neutral and they are available to assist the court with respect to information about the estate. * An executor is often a beneficiary, so on a wills variation claim, he/she would be identified as a defendant in his/her capacity as executor, and also in his/her personal capacity as a beneficiary. In their personal capacity, they do not need to be neutral.

With  Ian Giroday SHOW NOTES EPISODE 18: * Assets are typically joint bank accounts and land where a joint tenancy is registered against title. * Sometimes there’s a question of whether the right of survivorship in the asset was intended as a gift or whether it was meant to be held in trust. * This type of issue is very fact driven, involving reviewing banking documentation, documents related to a deed of gift, or an expression of a gift in any other documents.

With  David Hobbs SHOW NOTES EPISODE 17: * Trustees are named or appointed to hold the assets that are named in a trust. * An example of a trustee is the executor of a will. * A participant in a trust is a beneficiary. * A settlor is the person who initially places an asset in trust. * A trust agreement identifies the beneficiaries, sets out the powers and duties of the trustees and how the assets in the trust are to be distributed. * Trusts cannot exist in perpetuity, twenty-one years in the normal rule for when a trust will expire. Infants can be beneficiaries of trusts. Often the trust will appoint someone to hold the infant’s gift until the infant is a certain age, often the age of majority. * Trusts have investment powers. * Another type of trust is an alter-ego trust. This is when a person settles assets on a trust and then appoints themself trustee of the assets.
