ESTATE PLANNING/PROBATE SECTION VIRTUAL MEETING
DECEMBER 11, NOON
TOPIC: Six Suggestions for Virtual Mediation Success
Lisbeth Bulmash and Isaac Shutt will discuss mediation in probate, guardianship and estate matters. In this age of COVID-19, virtual mediations are a safe way to conduct the mediation without endangering you or your client. They will share suggestions for successful virtual mediations from the perspective of an experienced mediator and a probate attorney who litigates and mediates.
