Overview
When Legacies Are at Stake, Every Word - and Every Case - Counts
Trusts and estates disputes are among the most emotionally charged and legally complex matters an attorney can handle. Whether you're challenging a will, defending a trustee, or navigating a contested estate plan, the margin for error is zero.
This intensive 6-hour course cuts through the complexity and brings you directly into the courtroom - examining landmark and emerging case law to show you exactly how disputes unfold, how courts are ruling, and what strategies are winning. You'll walk away with a clear, litigation-ready understanding of the full trusts and estates dispute lifecycle: from identifying grounds for a will contest through judgment and post-trial considerations.
Whether you're an estate planning attorney expanding into litigation, a litigator handling your first trust dispute, or an experienced T&E litigator looking to sharpen your edge, this course delivers the practical, case-anchored guidance you need to represent your clients with confidence. Register today!
- See exactly how courts evaluate capacity and undue influence and what drafting choices create or close those vulnerabilities.
- Understand how no-contest clauses are being applied and enforced, so you can draft them to actually hold up.
- Know what trustees get sued for and how to counsel clients to avoid it.
- Get a discovery-eye view of T&E disputes: what gets subpoenaed, what gets challenged, and what that means for how you document your work.
- Walk away current on the emerging issues reshaping the field: digital assets, elder financial abuse, and multi-jurisdictional trust disputes.
