A Trustee’s Duty of Care Under the UPIA or…How to Avoid Being a Knucklehead 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
Trustees play a critical role in managing and safeguarding the assets within a trust, and understanding their fiduciary responsibilities is paramount.
The Uniform Prudent Investor Act (UPIA) outlines the trustee's duty of care, emphasizing the importance of making informed and prudent investment decisions. This legislation serves as a guide for trustees to navigate the complex landscape of investment management while avoiding common pitfalls.
A trustee must manage the trust asset prudently and in good faith. However, few trustees know how the Uniform Prudent Investor Act defines how prudence is defined or proven. Merely giving the assets to an investment advisor does not meet the high standard of care that applies to the trustee. This webinar aims to demystify these aspects, establishing a comprehensive understanding of how prudence is defined and proven under the Act. By doing so, trustees will be equipped with the knowledge needed to meet the high standard of care expected of them, surpassing the mere act of entrusting assets to an investment advisor. This course will establish the “best practices” for the management of trust assets.
