This session covers the recurring issues around amending trust deeds, winding up trusts and dealing with lost deeds, highlighting why these “old” problems continue to resurface. We considered recent case law shaping the parameters of amendment powers from trust law, capital gains tax and transfer duty perspectives, and examined how deed changes interact with other tax provisions. Practical examples illustrated common risks and how to keep variations and restructures valid and effective.
