On March 17, 2022, Ford + Bergner LLP Managing Partner Don D. Ford III and associate J. Crispin Clarke had the honor of teaching other attorneys around Texas in a seminar entitled “Trust Taxes from A to Z.”

As the title of the seminar implies, the all-day presentation included a variety of topics relating to the taxation of trusts. In particular, Ford and Clarke spoke on various topics relating to income taxes, estate taxes, and gift taxes related to various trusts, and they also discussed various tax strategies that many clients employ both when they create a trust and also when they are administering a trust over the long term.

As you can imagine, these topics arise frequently in the context of our estate planning clients who utilize trusts as a part of their planning.
