Trust Disputes in Scotland - The Current Position under the New Trust & Succession (Scotland) Act
Introduction
As the new Trust & Succession (Scotland) Act received Royal Assent in January 2024, practitioners should be live to the changes in the law, particularly where a dispute has or may arise.
This session will go through some of the key areas where disputes arise in practice and will provide practical advice on approaching these issues whether acting for the beneficiaries or the trustees in these scenarios.
This session is aimed at anyone dealing with the administration of Trusts in Scotland where disputes arise.
