Virtual Roundtable Replay: Delaware Beneficiary Well-Being Trust Statute

April 9, 2025

The UHNW Institute’s March Roundtable is now available for replay. In this session, Kristin Keffeler and Todd Flubacher examine Delaware’s new Beneficiary Well-Being Trust Statute—a shift in trust planning designed to support beneficiary growth and development throughout life.

Kristin and Todd discuss the new § 3345 of Title 12 of the Delaware Code, highlighting how the statute moves beyond traditional HEMS standards, offering a framework for integrating well-being education, financial literacy, family legacy and philanthropy into trust structures.

Key topics include:

  • How traditional trust design can unintentionally limit beneficiary well-being
  • New approaches to drafting trusts that prioritize development alongside asset protection
  • How the statute encourages transparency, communication and lifelong learning

UHNW Institute members can find the full recording in the Resource Library or on the event’s member portal page.
