| fiduciary accounting for trusts and estates: Fundamentals of Trust Accounting Income and Principal Rules Under the Revised New York State Laws Seymour Goldberg, 2014 In New York State alone there are well over 10,000 attorneys that are involved in trust drafting, tax planning, estate planning, trust accounting, trust litigation and elder law planning, but very few local bar associations in New York State have any material on this particular subject area ... until now. Many New York attorneys need a manual on the trust accounting income and principal rules from a practical application standpoint. This is especially true today because many attorneys draft trust documents. An attorney involved in drafting trusts in New York State has to be aware of the trust accounting rules that are applicable to a trust that is subject to New York State trust laws. This knowledge is especially important if he or she acts as trust counsel to the trust that he or she created. In addition, many trustees submit trust accountings to the trust beneficiaries. The failure of the attorney to know the trust accounting rules for the trust he or she created could result in headaches and liability issues for the attorney. Many practitioners in New York State may not realize that the New York trust laws regarding accounting income and principal have been completely revamped. The initial effective date of the revised laws was January 1, 2002 and is retroactive to all trusts that were in existence on that date and/or any date thereafter. Significant changes to these rules were made in August 2008 as well. The revamped New York State trust laws have three elements: the Uniform Principal and Income Act (UPAIA), the power to adjust (PTA) and the unitrust conversion. Any practitioner who is involved in trust drafting or trust litigation, or who prepares fiduciary income tax returns or trust accountings, must become aware of these revised trust rules in order to avoid potential malpractice and/or ethics issues--Unedited summary from book cover. |

| fiduciary accounting for trusts and estates: Loring and Rounds: A Trustee's Handbook, 2021 Edition Rounds, 2020-12-11 Loring and Rounds: A Trustee's Handbook is an invaluable practical resource that addresses the rights, duties, and obligations of the parties once the trustee takes title to trust property. This Handbook steers you through this complex field, providing property owners with a mechanism for seeing to the needs of beneficiaries in cost-effective, creative, efficient, and flexible ways. Loring and Rounds: A Trustee's Handbook is a handy, ready reference, and a gateway to the treatises, restatements, law review articles, uniform statutes, and cases you need to know. This fully integrated and bound volume of the 2021 Handbook brings you up to date on the latest cases, statutes, and developments, as well as new or updated discussion of topics as follow: The Handbook continues the lengthy process of pruning some of the deadwood; significant exposition has been cut, revised, or combined. In sum, the Handbook is now even leaner, meaner, and more usable than ever. In addition, numerous new cases and secondary sources have been added. These include the following: The 2021 Handbook fully covers the fourth income and principal act issued by the Uniform Law Commission, namely the Uniform Fiduciary Income and Principal Act (2018), otherwise known as UFIPA. UFIPA has been covered extensively in this edition and has been added in many separate sections. A new section covers remedies at law for breaches of trust, such as the tort of intentional interference with inheritance or acquisition by inter vivos transfer. In addition, the Handbook has been updated with 200+ new cases, including: Roth v. Jelley, holding that, when it comes to a judicial proceeding that could adversely affect the equitable property rights of a trust beneficiary,the beneficiary is entitled under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to notice and an opportunity to be heard. This case also discusses the various consequences attendant to the failure to provide such notice. Hector v. Bank of N.Y. Mellon, where the court, having in part looked to the Restatement (Third) for guidance, held that the designated passive corporate trustee of a securitized fund of mortgage-backed notes would not be personally at fault, and therefore, not personally liable for any injuries to the tenants of a certain parcel of real estate, title to which the trustee had acquired via foreclosure, that might be occasioned by their exposure to lead paint in and about the premises. Murphy v. Trustee of Star Financial Bank, a case discussing the unfortunate linkage of survivorship and per stirpes: to their surviving children per stirpes. The court held that the way in which surviving and per stirpes were linked rendered the provision itself ambiguous in that the condition of survival negates the right of representation inherent in a per stirpes distribution. 2020 Tax Rates for Trusts and 2021 Projected Tax Rate Schedule for Trusts Note: Online subscriptions are for three-month periods.

| fiduciary accounting for trusts and estates: Amazon Benedetta Brevini, Lukasz Swiatek, 2021 Taking a political economy of media approach, this book examines Amazon as a significant actor in the global media landscape. Amazon is mainly conceived in the popular consciousness and media commentary as a corporate body, selling products and services to individual consumers and organisations, but Brevini and Swiatek show that Amazon has become a communication giant that trades in diversified media (its own and others), and exerts a significant influence on global communication, especially through its online services. Further, the authors provide evidence of Amazon's multiple influences on politics, economics, and culture. With its comprehensive and critical overview, this book is ideal for students, scholars, and researchers of media and communication studies and political economy. |

| fiduciary accounting for trusts and estates: Federal Income Taxation of Trusts and Estates Mark L. Ascher, 2004-01-01 Federal Income Taxation of Trusts and Estates: Cases, Problems, and Materials examines the income taxation of estates and trusts, estate and trust beneficiaries, and trust settlors; its emphasis is on the provisions of ''Subchapter J''¿the relevant portion of the Internal Revenue Code (sections 641 through 692)¿and its first priority is to give readers an understanding of those provisions and how they work. The book takes four distinct, but integrated, approaches. At the beginning of each section, Ascher and Danforth present assignments of carefully selected provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations. Following are one or more precedents (cases or rulings) dealing with the topic at hand, accompanied by textual material that amplifies the topic by further analysis of the primary precedents, presentation of other precedents, or discussion of subsequent developments. Finally, numerous problems, where appropriate, allow the reader to apply the material to common fact patterns. The third edition brings the book completely up to date, and includes all relevant developments since the preparation of the second edition. Among the many important additions are the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Knight v. Commissioner, which just this year held that investment advisory fees paid by a trustee are subject to the 2% haircut under section 67; Mattie K. Carter Trust v. United States, in which the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas held that it is not merely the activities of the trustee, but also those of the trustee's employees, that count toward the material participation requirement under the passive activity rules of section 469; and full incorporation of the trust accounting income regulations recently finalized by the Treasury. The third edition includes a number of new or revised problems, and it trims some materials relating to estate planning techniques that are now obsolete. |
