Richard Williams Memorial Lecture
27 August at 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Free – A$50.00
Date: Wednesday, 27 August 2025
Time: 5.30pm
Where: Maroochy Surf Club
Speaker: Robert Whiteford
Robert Whiteford was admitted to the Bar in 1979 and spent the greater part of his distinguished career practising in succession law and equity. Following his retirement from advocacy in 2024, he continues to contribute to the profession through his work as a mediator.
In this presentation, Robert will explore two key topics:
- Comments on Commission – a discussion of executors’ and trustees’ commission claims, including practical and procedural considerations; and
- The Tolerated Territory of Trusts – a reflection on whether trust deeds can validly extend trustee powers beyond those permitted under the Trusts Act, even where the Act asserts its provisions operate despite contrary terms in the deed.
With his depth of experience and dry wit, Robert brings thoughtful insight to these complex and often contentious areas of trust law.
