The Sad Case of Lovey and Hubby (Part 2)

On this episode of "Splitting Heirs," Warren K. Racusin welcomes back Sharon L. Klein, President of Family Wealth for the Eastern US Region of Wilmington Trust Company and member of the Estate Planning Hall of Fame, to continue their discussion of Lovey and Hubby, two clients who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and then became embroiled in an extremely contentious divorce. The discussion centers on whether irrevocable trusts, into which marital assets were transferred during the course of the marriage, can be considered part of the marital balance sheet during a divorce. Warren and Sharon also address spousal limited access trusts, the concept of the "floating spouse," tax liability for grantor trusts, and how estate planning attorneys guide clients through the most difficult periods in their lives.  Speakers: Warren K. Racusin, Partner and Chair, Trusts & EstatesSharon L. Klein,  EVP, President - Family Wealth, Eastern U.S. Region & Head of National Divorce Advisory Practice, Wilmington Trust, N.A.
