Over the next 20 years there will be the biggest intergenerational transfer of wealth ever. Couple this with Australia’s ageing population and there’s no doubt that obtaining advice on all areas involved with estate and succession planning will become more important than ever.
At this year’s WA Estate & Succession Planning Intensive, local and credited speaker Dudley Elliott
, CTA
(Trove Group) will present a workshop on Testamentary Trusts,
tackling
the challenges that the blended families of the 21
st
century brings.
During the workshop Dudley will apply the technical principles from other sessions
at the Intensive
, focusing on structuring for business and challenging family situations.
Dudley explains ‘attendees will develop skills to assist with the delivery of services in this area and be more aware of issues and planning opportunities. I will cover the practical do’s and
don'ts
of estate planning, trust issues, family trust elections and control, discounted capital gains, refundable imputation credits and problems with the Commissioner’s discretion.’
A regular speaker at Tax Institute events, Dudley’s sessions are always interactive and humorous. Born in Belfast and one of six children, Dudley arrived in Australia as a ’
10-pound
pom
’ in 1972.
A former banker and partner at Deloitte, Dudley has been operating his own taxation practice,
Trove Advisory Group
, for over 12 years. He complete
d

Chris will be presenting session 3
–
‘Succession planning for family business’ as well as session 10 ‘Philanthropy and estate planning’. Chris explains ‘both of my sessions will equip delegates with an understanding
of several practice areas and strateg
ies in enough detail to be able to recognise them in a timely way and have meaningful, relevant discussions with their clients.
Although
delegates may not be able to execute all strategies and resolve all matters on their own, they’ll be in a good position to know how to seek assistance’.
During session 10 ‘
P
hilanthropy and estate planning’, Chris will cover multiple areas of concern for advisers whose clients have charitable/philanthropic object
ives, all of which are complex. During session 3 Chris will not only deal with the hard skills necessary to give relevant advice on succession planning for family business, but also the soft skills necessary to deal with situations and individuals that may be volatile, emotional and chaotic.
