Presented by contentious probate specialists, Sebastian Kokelaar, barrister at Three Stone and Lucinda Brown at BDB Pitmans as they highlight key areas of the will-making process that pose many traps, and what decided cases tell us about how to overcome them.

Date: Thursday 23rd July from 12.30pm – 1.30pm.

(CPD – 1 hour – SRA A2)

 

Questions that frequently arise are:

  • Can I be sued for not getting enough information on why a client does not want to leave property to a spouse or child ?
  • Is it sufficient that I believe the client has testamentary capacity from my discussions with the client ?
  • How persuasive will a Letter of Wishes be with an eye to defending a claim for undue influence in the future ?
  • Does the Golden Rule have any relevance these days to the pursuit of a professional negligence claim against a will draftsman ?
