Taxation and planning for modern families

Wednesday 5 November (1430 - 1545)

Committee(s)

Private Client Tax Committee (Lead)
Family Law Committee

Description

Most laws regarding how the succession and taxation of estates are designed with a traditional nuclear family in mind. But the definition of marriage and issue is not as clear cut as the law may allow. This session will explore how as families evolve and reproductive technology advances, how should modern families plan for their future.
