Mark will discuss the impact on your Estate of the following Death Bed Expenses which may exceed 40% of the value of your Estate:
· Executors Fees

· Capital Gains Tax
· Overdrafts and all other Liabilities
Mark will compare the costs of the only 3 solutions you have to pay for the above Death Bed Expenses weather one uses a Trust or not.

· The cost of Selling Assets (The cost may be astronomical)
· The cost of implementing the Receiver of Revenues Payment Plan
Mark will explain his Fees relating to the formation of a Trust and to do an Estate Plan at the Webinar or at the Personal Consultation
Experience has shown that when one forms a Trust it is often not used to best effect purely because the Trustees do not know how to use it. The reason is that generally when the Trust is formed all that is given to the Trustees is a single copy of the Trust Deed.
Mark will show you how easy it is to manage a Trust via his “Trust Education File” This File which is given in Hard Copy and Electronic Format is generic to each individual Trust
The Trust Education File provides Instructions on how to manage every aspect of the Trust from open a Banking Account to Purchasing or Selling an Asset.
You will receive instructions on how to draw up Resolutions. You are also provided with Resolutions generic to each event in such a way that once you complete 2 or 3 Resolutions you will know how to use your Trust
