Product Description
Charles Dickens wrote in Bleak House that “whole families have inherited legendary hatreds” arising from Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, a will contest that spanned generations and led many to ruin. Welcome to the world of disappointed heirs, aggrieved family members, and deep-seated sibling rivalry. Whether it be an elder’s undisclosed conveyance, or unexpected changes to an estate plan, the practitioner bringing or defending against these actions has many challenges to confront. This program reviews the foundational law governing these claims, as well as procedural and evidentiary issues that may be encountered. Ask your questions to customize the dialogue. -
