The Estate Planners Podcast

Proprietary Estoppel In this episode, we take a look at the principle of Proprietary Estoppel and how it affects estate planning. We examine the key cases that have built the framework and the three elements of assurance, reliance and detriment. #antonybrinkman #podcasthost #theestateplannerpodcast #proprietaryestoppel

Knight v Knight Knight v Knight, 1840, is one of the most important cases relating to trust law as it brought the concept of the three certainties of a trust into focus. This episode looks at the circumstances of the case and the court's decision making process #antonybrinkman #podcasthost #theestateplannerpodcast #knightvknight

In Antony Brinkman's first collaboration, he talks with David Opie from Today's Wills & Probate about the various hats that he wears in the industry and shares his thoughts on regulation, the CMA guidance and his role on the the SWW Professional Standards Board. #collaboration #regulation #cma #PSB

Re Baden Trusts This case from 1972 addressed one of the three certainties that are necessary for a valid trust - the certainty of objects. The courts looked at the wording used in the trust and in this episode, we take a look at what they considered when coming to their decision. #antonybrinkman #podcasthost #theestateplannerpodcast #rebadentrusts

Question….

No Children, No Problem This episode looks at some of the main differences in instruction-taking and drafting when you have a client that does not have children as compared to a client that does have children. We take up some specific examples of how you can change the conversation to better accommodate these differences. #antonybrinkman #podcasthost #theestateplannerpodcast #nochildrennoproblem

The Rise of the Machines As technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, should it be a worry? Consumers are more regularly going online to make their wills using websites that are getting better at interacting with the user. As professional practitioners we will rely more on technology than ever. With these trends, what does the future of our profession look like, and is there anything we should be doing now to distinguish ourselves from that which a machine is able to do? #antonybrinkman #podcasthost #theestateplannerpodcast #theriseofthemachine

The Public Guardian v RI and Others This episode looks at this case which provides estate planners with the criteria for an assessment of capacity specifically in relation to Lasting Powers of Attorney. https://lnkd.in/e26-2vEd #TheEstatePlannersPodcast #AntonyBrinkman #EstatePlanning #Podcast #LPA

An Awkward Situation There has been relatively little discussion on the subject of Lasting Powers of Attorney so far in this podcast, so in this episode we take a look at a client situation that illustrates just why they are so important. It serves as an example that you can use to paint the picture for clients that might be reluctant to put them in place. #theestateplannerspodcast #antonybrinkman #podcasthost #anawkwardsituation
