This program with noted estates lawyer Justin de Vries will provide practical guidance for estate planning lawyers who are faced with a deathbed will scenario. Part one will cover near-death decisions and common wealth transfer scenarios like inter vivos gifts\, real property transfers\, and changing beneficial designations\, as well as standards of capacity and types of undue influence involved in assessing a client’s unique circumstances. Part two will address best practices to observe in a deathbed will scenario\, including questions to ask on the initial inquiry\, being clear about the conditions of retainer\, and further specific practice tips once a retainer is accepted\, including taking instructions\, addressing suspicious circumstances\, executing the will\, and documenting the file. By the end of the program you will better understand: \n\nthe different tests and shifting standards involved in deathbed wills\nhow to act quickly and effectively to meet the requisite standard of care\nwhen to walk away from a deathbed will retainer\n\nWhile advanced will planning is always preferable\, deathbed wills cannot always be avoided.
