Will-ful and Wantin': 2009 OBA Institute - Trusts and Estates Section
This year’s trusts and estates section of the Institute was held on Tuesday, February 3, 2009. The programme featured a broad and interesting selection of topics by experienced practitioners.
Topics included:
- Estate planning for ‘complex’ families
- Environmental liability issues for trustees, executors, attorneys and guardians
- Family law surprises
- Conflict of laws in cases of multi-jurisdictional families and their assets
- Developments in costs in estates and capacity litigation
- Trustee mistakes
- Rights of adult beneficiaries to receive support
- Capacity assessments
- Power of attorney pitfalls
The programme was informative and insightful and a great opportunity to meet and speak with leading estate practitioners. If you were unable to attend, the seminar materials are available from the Ontario Bar Association.
Have a great day!
