Course Description

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the key features, benefits, and limitations of Spousal Limited Access Trusts (SLATs). SLATs are a type of irrevocable trust that is commonly used in estate planning to help spouses transfer assets to their beneficiaries while also preserving some degree of control over those assets. Throughout this course, participants will learn about the key elements of SLATs, including the role of the grantor, the trustee, and the beneficiaries. The webinar will also explore the tax implications of creating and managing SLATs, including gift taxes, income taxes, and estate taxes.

Learning Objectives:


  • Define what a Spousal Limited Access Trust (SLAT) is and explain the key features and benefits of this type of trust

  • Recognize the tax implications of creating and managing a SLAT, including gift taxes, income taxes, and estate taxes

  • Evaluate the potential risks and limitations of a SLAT, including the need to structure the trust carefully to ensure it meets its intended goals and avoids potential conflicts of interest between the grantor and the trustee

  • Outline strategies for creating and managing a SLAT that meets the unique needs and circumstances of a given client

  • Give examples of SLATs to estate planning scenarios, identifying situations in which this type of trust would be appropriate and effective

  • Contrast and compare SLATs to other types of trusts and estate planning tools to determine the best approach for a given client

  • Plan effective communication with clients and other stakeholders about the benefits, risks, and limitations of SLATs and make recommendations based on their specific needs and goals
