About the Program

The Connecticut Uniform Trust Decanting Act (“CUTDA”) will be effective January 1, 2025.  This program will educate estate planning practitioners about trust decanting generally – what is it, who can do it, and why.  We will detail the procedures to effectuate a decanting under the CUTDA and explain how its provisions conform with and differ from the uniform law and other notable examples of decanting statutes.   We will consider the income, gift, estate and GST tax treatment and consequences to the grantor of an exercise of the power to decant.  Last, we will review other fiduciary considerations in determining whether, where and how to decant.  

You Will Learn
