Why You Should Attend

Estate planners must always be on guard when drafting documents which may supply incentive for someone to contest a will. Anytime an individual would take more through intestacy or under a prior will, the potential for a will contest exists, especially if the estate is large.

• • Reasons to anticipate a will contest
  • Techniques to avoid contests
  • What provisions and language work best
  • Purposes and preparation of a will execution ceremony
  • Ante-mortem probate: Advantages and disadvantages

All registrants will receive a set of downloadable course materials to accompany the program.
