Description
Because fiduciary accounting has not kept up with the times in relation to finance and economics, it's often tricky for the fiduciary to provide a level of benefit to the income beneficiary without negatively impacting the remainder beneficiaries. In order to modernize fiduciary accounting, new provisions provide for a more modern approach using either the "trustee's power to adjust" or "unitrusts." We will explore these new frontier trusts and their application to your fiduciary clients.
