A Deep Dive into Fiduciaries and the Administering of Assets in a Digital and Modern World

This article was produced in partnership with Hull & Hull LLP and WEL Partners 

Acting as a fiduciary for a trust or estate comes with several important roles and responsibilities. The nature of these greatly depends on the specific kind of trust in question and the assets that are tied to it.  It’s no doubt that there are many factors and varying details at play, at times resulting in grey, overlooked, or questionable areas - the most frequent one being what constitutes a conflict of interest.

However, ensuring that a fiduciary acts with integrity and that the exercise of discretion is appropriately carried out doesn’t need to be complicated.

This month, on June 12th, estate litigation experts Kimberly A. Whaley and Ian Hull will be joined by Jeff Kehoe, Director of Enforcement at the Ontario Securities Commission, and Leigh Sager, Barrister and author of The Digital Estate, for an informative and free industry webinar that covers everything you need to know about fiduciary duties and the administering of assets in today’s digital world.
