Trustbar (The Trusts, Fiduciaries And Executries Bar Group) is presenting a seminar on Disappointed Beneficiaries at the The Atholl Hotel, 54 King’s Gate, Aberdeen on Thursday 16th May 2013.

At this event, Terra Firma member and Vice-Chairman of Trustbar, Nick Holroyd, will present a paper on Testamentary Capacity.  A second talk will be provided by John Robertson, Advocate, entitled Facility & Circumvention and Undue Influence.

Formed in 2006, TrustBar is a group of advocates who practise in the areas of wills, trusts and executries and in areas concerning fiduciary relationships. The inclusion of “Fiduciaries” in the title reflects the use of the fiduciary principle not merely in trust law but also in areas such as the law of directors’ duties, agency, partnership, and proceeds of crime. TrustBar promotes the expertise of advocates in these areas and as part of this runs CPD-qualifying events for the Solicitor branch of the profession throughout Scotland.

The seminar has been accredited by the Faculty of Advocates as contributing 1 hour CPD for its own members and is eligible for a similar award from the Law Society of Scotland for the solicitor branch of the profession. The seminar will be followed by drinks and canapés and the cost for attendance is £25 per delegate.
