Reducing Estate Litigation CLE

The American Bar Association Section of Real Property, Trust & Estate Law is sponsoring a teleconference and live audio webcast on March 3, 2009 entitled Feuds and Flashpoints: Detecting and Defusing Potential Estate Litigation During Estate Planning and Post Mortem.

Here is a description of this program:

Conflicts can easily arise during the estate planning process or post-mortem. The traditional goals of avoiding taxes and probate often ignore the potential for conflict. Litigation may reduce the amount heirs receive as much or more than probate and taxes while irreparably harming family relationships.

This teleconference and live audio webcast will cover the following topics and more:

• How to use a “Flashpoint Detector Questionnaire” that can identify most potential estate litigation.
• Alternative ways and times that estate planning and estate litigation attorneys can assist their clients in avoiding or better managing estate litigation.
• How to manage estate conflict to deliver much more financial and emotional value to clients, provide higher client satisfaction, and higher personal satisfaction and more client referrals to the practitioner.
