We’re proud to share that Amy Mortimore, K.C., Co-Chair of our Estates & Trusts group, will be a featured speaker at the Continuing Legal Education Society of British Columbia’s 2025 program, “Trust Issues: A Re-examination of Often Overlooked Foundational Concepts” on Wednesday, June 25th.
This full-day intensive is designed for lawyers at all stages of their careers who work in estate planning, administration, and litigation. The program takes a deep dive into critical but often under-discussed aspects of trust law—from trustee liability and inherent powers to bare and secret trusts.
Amy will be presenting the session on “Secret Trusts”, offering her advanced insights into:
-
What secret trusts are and how they arise
-
Their potential uses in the BC context
-
Key considerations for drafting and litigation
As one of the province’s most respected voices in estate litigation, Amy brings decades of experience navigating the complexities of fiduciary obligations, trust structures, and dispute resolution. Her session will equip attendees with practical tools to spot and manage the unique risks and opportunities secret trusts present in both planning and litigation.
Whether you’re looking to revisit the fundamentals or sharpen your practice with fresh perspectives, this program offers a rich opportunity to deepen your expertise—and Amy’s session promises to be a highlight.
