While no will can eliminate all risk\, many disputes arise from recurring and preventable drafting and process errors. In this 90-minute practical webinar\, estates litigation lawyer and preferred counsel for LAWPRO\, Jenny Bogod\, examines common categories of will-drafting mistakes that lead to litigation and professional negligence claims. Drawing on leading jurisprudence and real-world experience\, the session highlights where drafting lawyers most often get into trouble and\, more importantly\, how to avoid those problems at the drafting stage. By the end of the webinar\, you will be able to: \n\nBetter understand the scope of the drafting lawyer’s duties and risk exposure\nIdentify recurring drafting errors that generate litigation\nRecognize clause-level vulnerabilities before they become disputes\nImplement protective drafting techniques and file practices that reduce claims and challenges\n\nThis program focuses on concrete drafting and process improvements\, not abstract doctrine. The goal is to help you draft wills that are less likely to be litigated and more defensible if they are. Before you finalize your next will\, ask yourself: If this clause were litigated tomorrow\, would I be comfortable defending it? If the answer is anything short of “absolutely”\, join us to sharpen your drafting and pressure-test your precedents against current litigation trends! \n\n\nMeet Your Presenter\nJenny Bogod is a passionate litigator whose litigation practice at Rosen Sack LLP focuses on estate\, trusts and capacity litigation as well as professional negligence. Jenny represents dependants\, estates\, beneficiaries and persons whose capacity is being questioned by others in connection with Will challenges\, Will interpretation applications\, power of attorney disputes\, dependant support claims and guardianship applications.
