PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This program will explore a subject vital to all professionals who deal with estates, trusts, gifts, and the elderly: how to ascertain when undue influence is occurring, and the facts needed prove it. The presentation will include fact patterns for different scenarios and explain how the evidence presented impacts these cases. The materials will provide detailed analyses of law and facts about the case studies from multiple jurisdictions. Attendees will come away more equipped to deal with the increasing, challenging – yet often overlooked – problem of undue influence.
