Join us for a practical, 90-minute webinar designed to elevate your skills in drafting Powers of Attorney for Property. Experienced trusts and estates lawyer, Lynne Butler, will provide valuable insights on how to create clear, precise, and truly effective documents that accurately capture your client’s wishes while minimizing the risk of abuse and litigation.
In this session, you will:
Learn specific drafting techniques for tailoring “standard” language to meet your client’s unique circumstances.
Discover key clauses to include in various situations and common pitfalls to avoid.
Address “unexpected” issues, such as managing a person’s business if they lose capacity, leaving charitable gifts under a Power of Attorney, and paying the person acting under the Power of Attorney.
Debunk common myths surrounding Powers of Attorney and learn practical solutions for issues frequently encountered by clients, their families, and attorneys when working with financial institutions.
Whether you’re drafting your first or fiftieth Power of Attorney for Property, this session will equip you with the skills to express your client’s desires clearly to third parties and the courts. Sample clauses will be included in the materials. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your drafting abilities and better serve your clients.
This program is ideal for both new and experienced wills and estates lawyers, as well as general practitioners involved in estate planning.
