What to Expect on the CLE Circuit
I knew Summer’s end was near when I received the Fall mailings of 2007/2008 Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs. As expected, there is a full calendar of seminars and events coming up that lawyers in an array of practice areas should consider attending. Below I have set out a few of the highlights for estate practitioners:
September 24, 2007 - Trusts, Trustees, Trusteeships II [at the OBA Conference Centre]
This full-day event covers the use, treatment and taxation of trust relationships. This is a fairly complex area of estate law, and the talks are targeted at those with intermediate and advanced knowledge in the area.
October 5, 2007 – Hull & Hull LLP’s Quarterly Breakfast Seminar [at the OBA Conference Centre]
This two-hour morning seminar hosted by Hull & Hull LLP focuses on three issues – settlements when dealing with minors and incapable beneficiaries, secret trusts and powers of appointment, and mutual wills.
November 5 & 6, 2007 – 10th Annual Estates and Trusts Summit [at the Law Society of Upper Canada]
As the title indicates, this event happens only once per year. It is an estates law marathon boasting more than 25 esteemed speakers and almost the same number of topics. Both estate planning lawyers (day 1) and estate litigation counsel (day 2) are sure to benefit from attending the summit.
See you there!Natalia Angelini
