The discussion will include:

  • New regulations that took effect on Tuesday 6 Oct 2020, with implications for both new and existing trusts, including some co-ownership of property and many will trusts;
  • Changes to 4MLD: the new rules for registering updates & the new annual declaration;
  • Probate applications: Applying for probate online will be compulsory for many cases from 2 Nov 2020: what is happening with the new process and with HMRC, including changes in August e.g. Clearance applications and changes for complex estates on TRS.
