The Private Client World during COVID-19

During this difficult time, opportunities and challenges are arising for high net worth individuals and family offices.

To discuss some of the trends and issues our London Private Client team hosted an interactive webinar which discussed a number of key topics, including:

• Executing wills and other documents in the COVID-19 environment
• Changes to the Statutory Residence Test for exceptional circumstances
• How proceedings are handled/managed in the current environment
• Estates disputes: when you know the last Will was not the last word – inevitable disputes involving execution errors
• Tax changes and tiny islands: a flurry of Public Trustee v Cooper applications to come?
• The United States COVID amendments to residence rules and broadening the ability to virtually sign wills in different jurisdictions
