The only time a mother-in-law’s two cents is wanted? In a divorce! That two cents and all the family’s wealth, including those assets socked away in a spendthrift trust, seem to be fair game. The faculty discuss the considerable - and growing - case law governing third-party spendthrift trusts in the context of marital assets subject to equitable distribution, as well as the practical aspects of discovery, the Vaughn Affidavit, and “if and when” orders. This program is a must-attend for both estate planners and family lawyers!
