This presentation will provide financial institution personnel with best practices to use when dealing with these complex legal documents.

Topics Covered:

• What are the differences between revocable and irrevocable trusts?

• How many co-trustees does it take to bind the trust?
• When can a successor trustee do business for the trust?
• Can a power of attorney be used with a trust document?
• Can a trust own a safe deposit box?
