Wealth Management - In New Hampshire We Trust
States Court Family-Trust Business
States are competing for a piece of the booming personal-trust business,
and that's encouraging wealthy individuals interested in passing assets to
their heirs to shop around for the most favorable state trust laws.
In New Hampshire We Trust? Legislation has passed both the House and Senate and is waiting approval from Governor Lynch that would change New Hampshire's trust laws in an attempt to make the Granite State the premier place to locate both trusts and trust companies from out of state. We'll talk about what the Trust Modernization and Competitiveness Act intends to do, what that means for the regular Joe or Jane and why New Hampshire has been picked to top the list when it comes to trust law. Laura's guests are Peter Hildreth, Commissioner for the State of New Hampshire Banking Department, who worked closely with the legislature on this bill, Susan Leahy, an estate planning and trust attorney at the McLane law firm, and Bill Ardinger, Attorney with Rath, Young and Pignatelli. Ardinger is also their Treasurer and heads up the Tax Practice Group and represented the Trust New Hampshire First group before the legislature in regards to this legislation. We'll also hear from Tom Fahey, State House Bureau Chief for the New Hampshire Union Leader, John Duncan, a Chicago-based attorney who helped draft the initial legislation for the Trust Modernization and Competitiveness Act, and Robert Sitkoff, Professor of Law at New York University School of Law. Sitkoff co-authored a study on the competitiveness of states in terms of trust funds. View Original Article |
