THE PRESENTATION WILL NOT BE RECORDED.\n \nReading, Interpreting and Drafting Trust Distribution Provisions that Work:\n \nSay What You Mean and Mean What You Say\n \n\n \nLESLIE KIEFER AMANN\n \nSponsored by Communities Foundation of Texas and Armanino     \n \nThe presentation investigates ways to encourage collaboration and improve communication between clients and their providers by concentrating on the content of trust documents. We use a light-hearted approach and by looking at examples of unusual document provisions, we consider the basic elements of trust instructions and particularly distribution clauses. We will consider how the law of fiduciary duty has evolved to impact what settlors are able to accomplish in a trust and some of the common instructions such as whether to consider beneficiaries’ outside resources and what information would be relevant for a trustee charged with maintaining a specific standard of living. We will analyze what settlors may say specifically about intent and purpose of a trust and consider better ways to convey a grantor’s instructions, intent, values and perspective within the document or in a separate letter of wishes. The format includes looking at some unusual provisions and suggesting clearer ways to achieve the same meaning. Leslie Kiefer Amann writes, lectures, and consults on fiduciary administration and wealth planning topics for Sentinel Trust Company LBA and other professional organizations. She earned her B.A. in Music | Education and a Texas Teaching Certificate from Texas State University and a J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center. Leslie joined Sentinel Trust in 2006, serving clients with highly complex fiduciary needs and working to ensure consistency and best practices where Sentinel Trust was named as trustee, executor, or agent as its Chief Fiduciary Officer. To that role, she brought fiduciary and banking experience, including as a Market Trust Executive for a large publicly traded national bank, and as Assistant General Counsel for a regional bank. Leslie stepped down from full-time employment at Sentinel in 2021 but remains a Shareholder | Of Counsel. She frequently presents continuing education for state and local bar associations, estate planning councils, and various CPA organizations.\n \nThere is continuing ed credit pending for this presentation.
