Who Should Attend

This program will appeal to lawyers who want to develop an estate planning practice, and new and experienced estates and trusts practitioners looking to improve their will drafting skills.

About the Program

Many factors can take a client outside of the “basic” will category and raise unusual considerations related to will drafting. Second marriages, business interests, vacation or cottage properties, special needs planning, charitable giving, and other complicated situations all raise complex legal, financial and practical issues for testators and beneficiaries - and their lawyers! Proper preparation of a will in these circumstances means that you will have to call on knowledge from a number of legal fields, including tax law. This new short course with experienced estates and trusts lawyer Lynne Butler is designed to help you recognize difficult or unusual issues related to will drafting and get practical guidance on appropriate solutions to effectively implement your client’s wishes and reduce the risk of future negligence claims. After taking this course you will:

  • be more alert to circumstances that complicate will drafting
  • better understand the benefits and risks of various planning and drafting tools
  • be better prepared to address tax matters through drafting

Over fifty percent of the course will focus on actual drafting. Don’t miss this opportunity to get fresh insights and valuable precedent clauses to help you address some of the most complex drafting issues facing estate planning practitioners today!
