• What is the current state of the law governing restricted gifts and charitable trusts when circumstances change?
• Who has standing to seek to enforce or modify restrictions on charitable gifts?
• What tools are available to modify restrictions when circumstances warrant?
• What is the role of the state Attorney General in enforcing charitable gifts and donor intent?
• What should planners know and consider to better help charities and donors draft gift agreements that reduce the chances of future controversy and better address possible changed circumstances?
