A private trust company, also known as a family trust company or an exempt trust company, is an entity formed and authorized under state law to act as a fiduciary for a single family. In determining a single family, family members are typically defined under state law by their degree of kinship to a designated relative, such as a patriarch or a matriarch.  One of the most attractive features of a private trust company is that it provides a means for current and future generations of a family to have an ongoing active voice in the management of family wealth inside of irrevocable trusts.  In other words, family members can participate in the governance of a private trust company serving as trustee of family trusts.

In his exclusive LISI Webinar, Jim Weller will present an in-depth examination of private trust companies with a particular focus on the following topics:

• Types of Private Trust Companies
• The Pros and Cons of Private Trust Companies
• The Steps in Forming a Private Trust Company
• Impact of IRS Notice 2008-63 on Private Trust Companies
• Developing the Proper Governance Structure of a Private Trust Company
• Prudent Practices for Private Trust Companies
• State Law Nuances
