Introduction

Gifts made by people during their lifetime have been the subject of previous seminars and
webinars. This time we will explore further avenues such as the standard of mental
capacity required. A recent New Zealand case also highlights the pitfalls of informal
arrangements, especially where the recipients have fiduciary duties.

We will review again the continuing concerns relating to asset protection, residential care subsidies, insolvency and so on. They continue to be issues of concern but it is also important to step back and look at the wider range of issues that can arise, particularly in the case of gifts made by older people.
