DESCRIPTION:\nPLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE TO The Warner Theater Conference Center, 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, Corner of 12th and E Street.\n \nProgram Description and Benefits:\nThe irrevocable trust for the benefit a spouse – sometimes called a “spousal lifetime access trust” or “SLAT” – is a popular technique for transferring wealth of a grantor’s estate while retaining indirect access to trust assets through the spouse beneficiary. The technique works well and can even succeed brilliantly so long as the spouses are happily married. But if the spouses divorce, it can turn disastrous. In particular, if the ex-spouse remains a beneficiary, then the SLAT might continue to be taxed to the grantor. Few grantors welcome the prospect of being taxed on income that belongs to an ex-spouse. This presentation will discuss techniques for avoiding post-divorce income tax entanglements.\n \nSpeaker Biography: \nAustin Bramwell is a partner of Milbank LLP in New York and the co-Practice Group Leader of their Trusts & Estates Group, as well as an Adjunct Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, where he teaches income taxation of trusts and estates. In 2017 and 2018, he served in the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Tax Policy. Mr. Bramwell serves as co-chair, estates and trusts, of the Executive Committee of the New York State Bar Association Tax Section. He is a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, where he serves on the Washington Affairs Committee, and an Academician of The International Academy of Estates and Trusts Law. Mr. Bramwell earned his J.D. cum laude from Harvard University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut. He clerked for the Hon. Timothy M.
