Although most trusts and estates practitioners are familiar with will contests and other forms of probate litigation, various tort claims arising from estate planning present unique opportunities and challenges. In this new seminar, experienced faculty discuss the types of tort claims that can arise from estate planning and share practical guidance relating to bringing and defending against those claims. The program highlights claims for intentional interference with expected inheritance, malpractice actions, and navigating the attorney-client privilege in tort cases relating to estate planning.
