2022 Joint Wills and Estates Program
Fundamentals of Estate Planning and Will Drafting
December 1, 2022
(Day 1)

Preparing wills can seem deceptively easy to new practitioners, however, an aging population and the growth of estate litigation show that preparing wills can be fraught with hidden traps. With a slate of experienced practitioners to guide you, this program is here to help!

Day one is focused on the fundamentals and setting yourself up for success. This is essential for lawyers starting out in the area, and will serve as a good refresher for more experienced practitioners. Topics include:

• file and client management;
• using precedents and planning forms;
• testing for capacity;
• taking and preserving notes;
• estate planning; and
• will drafting.
