When private client, succession and tax matters become more heated, private client practitioners need to be prepared for any outcome. This session will cover the classic bases for dispute in this area and also try to give you clever tools to avoid these situations.

The session will explore topics such as:

  • recent case law and statutory developments
  • interpretation matters
  • legacy dispute issues
  • warring trustees and executors
  • claims and concerns by beneficiaries
  • challenges to wills
  • legal rights
  • variation of trusts
  • charity reorganisations and charity disputes
  • how best and most efficiently and effectively to resolve contentious cases
  • The event begins at 2pm. Delegate registration is open from 1:30pm.
