Certifiable! How to Use a Certification of Trust to Simplify Complex (Trust) Affairs
Date: July 8, 2025
Time: 10:00AM EDT
Presenter: Jon W. Brodegard | Counsel
The purpose of this presentation is to review how to determine who may act for a trust governed by the Virginia Uniform Trust Code. One important tool that can be used is the Certification of Trust authorized by Va. Code § 64.2-804. This presentation will review real life situations where the Certification of Trust may or may not be used to establish trustee authority.
