Intensive Wills and Estates Workshop
The fifth annual Intensive Wills and Estates Workshop is coming up! It was recently announced in the Osgoode Professional Development circular, and is touted as an interactive workshop designed for practitioners wanting to update their knowledge and hone their skills in estate planning and administration.
Some of the things you will learn are:
· how to take more comprehensive instructions and notes
· techniques for substantiating capacity
· effective strategies for using a roadmap and checklist when drafting
· how to avoid negligence claims when executing a Will
· strategies to avoid or lessen probate fees and estate tax liabilities
· how to handle situations where a challenge to a Will is anticipated
· methods to protect yourself when acting as an estate solicitor in both testate and intestate situations
· how to manage unusual applications for Certificates of Appointment
The workshop is being led by Jordan Atin, barrister & solicitor (and associate counsel to Hull & Hull LLP), and will be taking place over three Wednesday evenings - January 30, February 6 and February 13, 2008 – from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
As the nature of the workshop is interactive, it allows for lots of questions and discussion. Participants will critically analyze and apply the law to the issues covered, and will receive insight from leading practitioners in the area. They will also be given valuable precedents.
You can register at www.osgoodepd.ca. See you there!
