Program Description:
Trust and estate litigation is on the rise. Disputes often pit sibling against sibling or step-parent against step-children. Allegations of mental incapacity and undue influence fill the air. Everyone knows what Mom and Dad wanted, but they don’t agree on what it was. Jeff will describe the litigation that he sees, including the legal issues that tend to arise and the dynamics of dispute resolution. Anticipating how estate plans may result in litigation can help estate planners and other advisors avoid or mitigate disputes.
