OBJECTIVES Wills are for everyone. There is a common recognition and acceptance that every individual should make a Will. As individuals, our family and financial circumstances differ as do our wishes concerning the distribution and administration of our estate. When a Will is drafted consideration has to be given to these differences and wishes, and the Will's terms expressed clearly and concisely. This seminar aims to look at successful will making from both the client and the solicitor's point of view. This seminar will include the following areas:
- Developments in the law of negligence in relation to the making up of Will's including a consideration of the latest case law
- Common mistakes made in the drafting of Will's
- How to avoid those mistakes and other pitfalls
- How to make Will making pay and to generate more business from the same
PARTICIPANTS This seminar is aimed at general practitioners involved in the preparation of Will's particularly those who do not specialise in Executry work but who are regularly invited by clients to make Will's for them. The seminar is also suitable for paralegals involved in private client work including drafting Wills for clients.
