For example, the attorney reads in the paper, sees on the Internet, or is told by the client’s accountant, insurance professional, or financial planner that one of the attorney’s former clients has died. The information indicates that the client died intestate. This is news to the attorney and perhaps the client’s other advisors. What should happen? Is the attorney obligated to come forward and present the original if the attorney has the original or a copy to the court? If the attorney doesn’t have to, may the attorney? And may other professionals tell the family that the attorney prepared the will and has the original or a copy? This presentation explores these and similar difficult questions about revealing information about a client’s testamentary documents after death.\n\n\n \n \n \nRSVP DEADLINE: JANUARY 8, 5:00 PM\n \n \n \n1.0 Credit for CCBA Members\n \n \n \nTHIS MEETING IS OPEN TO ALL CCBA MEMBERS. \n \nNOTE: SIGN IN SHEETS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AT THE MEETING.
