Fritha Ford is a Jersey Advocate and a Partner at Collas Crill specialising in private wealth disputes. With more than 15 years of experience helping clients navigate complex and sensitive disputes involving Jersey trusts and estates, she regularly appears before the Island's courts and has played a key role in some of the Island’s most high-profile trust litigation cases. Fritha advises trustees, protectors, beneficiaries, and other interested parties on all matters of Jersey trust law, often involving multi-jurisdictional assets and family business interests. Skilled in strategic dispute resolution, Fritha also works proactively to help clients identify and mitigate risks, often before disputes arise. |
| DESCRIPTION |
As family structures and laws evolve, trustees increasingly face complex questions about who counts as “children” or “issue.” This session explores practical strategies for managing these challenges across jurisdictions and generations, addressing issues such as IVF, surrogacy, and adoption, and considering how trust instruments should be reviewed or clarified, particularly in light of the recent change to Jersey law which has abolished the concept of illegitimacy. |
