Family Trust Masterclass


Law Central invites you to join trust lawyer, John Wojtowicz for a 2 hour Masterclass on the basics of family trusts.

Sooner or later in their professional career, advisers and accountants will encounter clients with existing family trusts, or those who need them. Having a solid understanding on the issues and law surrounding family trusts will enable you to better understand your clients’ structures and add value to the advice that you provide.

All too often we come across trusts that were inappropriately setup, poorly maintained or incorrectly managed. This Family Trust Masterclass is designed to give accountants and professional advisers the understanding and tools necessary to ensure that their clients’ trusts are properly established and that any existing issues can be readily identified.

In this Family Trust Masterclass, John will guide you through the law affecting family trusts with practical examples of common trust situations, pitfalls to avoid and where a lack of understanding of the trust terms has led to disputes.
