"Avoiding the Estate Planning “Blue Screen of Death” with Competent and Ethical Practices"

All it takes is one careless act to place you in the hot seat for months or years where you might watch your personal, professional, and financial life crumble around you. Prof. Beyer’s presentation reviews the exposure an estate planner may have to malpractice liability and then focuses attention on ethical issues that may arise while preparing or executing the plan. He hopes that by pointing out potentially troublesome areas, you will avoid the ramifications of drafting a flawed estate plan or having a lapse of ethical good judgment, which may lead to the frustration of the client’s intent, financial loss to the client or the beneficiaries, personal embarrassment, and possible disciplinary action. SWFEPC - Click Here To Register
