Program Summary

Attendees can expect to learn the rules applicable in California for whether and when a plaintiff/claimant/creditor can “pierce the veil” of a debtor to reach assets held in a trust organized by the debtor. Attendees will also learn the opposite—that is, when a creditor can reach assets of an individual beneficiary or settlor of a trust where the trust/trustee is the debtor. Attendees will also get a refresher on the alter ego doctrine and the rules for “reverse veil piercing,” both of which inform the rules for reaching trust assets.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Alter ego doctrine and reverse veil piercing
  • Reaching assets of trusts where settlor is the debtor
  • Reaching assets of settlor where trust/trustee is the debtor

Jake is also an advocate for the emerging and expanding legal cannabis and hemp industries, using his thorough knowledge of the constantly evolving laws, statutes, and regulations applicable to guide his clients through any regulatory or business disputes they may be experiencing.

As part of his cannabis law practice, Jake has experience in writ of mandate proceedings between retail operations and public entities, private money lending disputes, and internal investor/partner conflicts.
