Event Outline

This event is organised by Singapore Trustees Association (STA). With cross-border families on the rise, trusts face greater scrutiny in divorce. This session examines how family courts treat trust assets, distinguishing between challenging a trust’s validity and considering assets a financial resource. The speaker navigates cross-border disputes, the impact of community property laws, and trust vulnerability to matrimonial claims. Referencing Standish v Standish and CS v RH, the presentation highlights practical challenges for trustees and advisors.
