The Northern Trust Experience

Acquirors vs. Inheritors

Acquired Transition in socio-economic class

Identity is established partially or wholly prior to acquiring the wealth

Acquiror’s Quandary

Incorporating wealth into personal identity How much do I assimilate?

Inherited Maintenance of socio-economic class

Identity is tied up with wealth

Inheritor’s Quandary

Growing an identity out of a wealth environment

Page 8: © 2008 Northern Trust Corporation northerntrust.com Doug Regan, EVP President The Wealth Management Group Nancy Felton-Elkins, SVP Director of Fiduciary.

The Northern Trust Experience

What is Making My Phone Ring?

What shall I tell my children about our wealth? How can I educate them about wealth? How can I stop them from feeling entitled to it?

Is the client an acquiror or an inheritor?

Acquiror: Concern that the next generation will have too much money

Inheritor: Concern that the next generation will not have enough money-needs to work; entitlement

Page 9: © 2008 Northern Trust Corporation northerntrust.com Doug Regan, EVP President The Wealth Management Group Nancy Felton-Elkins, SVP Director of Fiduciary.

The Northern Trust Experience

What is Making My Phone Ring?

Why would I NOT want Dynasty Trusts?

Family Offices becoming investment companies or multifamily offices

Family Offices becoming Private Trust Companies

Aggressive tax strategies

Investment performance requests for complex portfolios to review managers and consultants

Partnerships or LLC’s to pool assets in smaller trusts

Page 10: © 2008 Northern Trust Corporation northerntrust.com Doug Regan, EVP President The Wealth Management Group Nancy Felton-Elkins, SVP Director of Fiduciary.

The Northern Trust Experience

What is Making My Phone Ring?

Can I put my plane, yacht, ranch, art, etc. in a trust? Estates with staffs

The ocean is coming over my seawall.

Art

Can I put the museum in a trust?

Jewelry

Timber

Natural gas wells

Yachts with crews

This is the monthly for only ONE boat in Monaco?

Airplanes

Is this the gas bill?

The Northern Trust Experience

What is Making My Phone Ring?

How many trees did you kill to produce this report?

Challenges of Information Wealth Passport encourages

customization and aggregation

Some folks want it simple

Electronic reporting, CD’s, or paper?

Fear of computers

Partnership accounting

“I’ve been elected. What should I do?” Blind trusts

Page 12: © 2008 Northern Trust Corporation northerntrust.com Doug Regan, EVP President The Wealth Management Group Nancy Felton-Elkins, SVP Director of Fiduciary.

The Northern Trust Experience

Where In the World Do I Go?

What states don’t have state “death” taxes?

Should I avoid moving to a Community Property state?

What does de-coupling mean? Will I pay more death taxes in the state I call home?

What states don’t have state taxes?

Where can I have a Dynasty Trust with no Rule Against Perpetuities?

Should I have an Asset Protection Trust in Delaware? In Guernsey?

I know some states have better laws for Special Needs Trusts. Which ones?

If Northern Trust in Chicago is co-trustee with my attorney in California, will my Irrevocable Trust be taxed in California if I am not a California resident?

Where is it best to establish a Private Trust Company (PTC)?

We have a PTC but want Northern Trust for:

Asset Servicing/Information Delivery / Global Assets

Co-Trustee with powers limited to making discretionary distributions

Consultant on investments, discretionary decisions, being a trustee

Can I reform this trust in Illinois? Ohio? California? Delaware?

Can I repatriate my Bahamian trust and what will it cost in taxes?
