We have have refined the online conference concept into a highly effective training tool which is as far removed from the boring old one-hour/one speaker webinar as it is possible to be. Instead of one speaker, we have 7, who will each deliver a 25 minute sessions. By exposing our attendees to a wider variety of voices, they are in turn exposed to a wider range of ideas. Consequently, you can better get to grips with the subject, facilitate a greater understanding of the topic and keep your organisation abreast of fresh and important developments.
With this online conference, you will be able to participate with your colleagues as you want - either live, or in segments (perhaps viewing it a session at a time over several days/weeks) or on an on-demand, recorded basis. You will be able to take part by video or audio to watch or hear our panel of expert speakers cover the current hot topics, and answer or ask questions, from the comfort of your office or home.
The topics to be covered include:
- Excluded Property Trusts – The remaining opportunities
- Rescission of Trusts
- IHT double trust planning
- Rea v Rea: challenging a will on the grounds of undue influence
- The tax consequences of contentious trusts litigation
- Trustee blessing applications: recent case law
- Lifetime Gifts – has the family silver really been given away? Examining the rules on transfers of chattels, assets and investments

Important Notes about Booking
1. If you are booking more than say 14 delegates, it is probably better to make two bookings of half the number of delegates each, starting with the paying delegate and then adding half the free delegates to that booking and then creating a new booking for the rest of the free delegates. The reason for this is that the booking platform time-out kicks in perhaps too quickly and you can lose all the information you inputted. Alternatively you can book your first delegate and send the names, job titles and email addresses of the additional delegates to us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk
2. Payment can be made by credit or debit card or alternatively by invoice. The option to pay by invoice is below the pay by card option in the booking form
3. If you have more than 20 delegates then extra delegates are £20 each. Contact us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk to arrange this
4. If you don't have the complete list of who will be attending you can book for those that you know will be attending and add the others at a later date
5. If you would like to submit questions in advance to the speakers please send them to info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk
6. Please ensure that, when booking, you get colleagues' email addresses entirely correct as failure to do so will probably mean that they will not receive joining instructions
