The Trust Protector: Trustee Watchdog or Expensive Exotic Pet?

Presented by: Karen L. Witherell, JD & Alexander A. Bove, Jr., JD - Bove & Langa Law Firm

Review the current law and relevant cases regarding trust protectors
Sound basis for deciding whether to declare fiduciary status
Important drafting issues to keep in mind to ensure flexibility in your document and avoid common pitfalls
