During the afternoon, Susan Link will moderate a breakout session titled, "Gray Areas in Probate Proceedings," in which a panel of experienced probate practitioners, including Michael Sampson and Cindy Costello, will discuss some of the issues that arise for attorneys and paralegals during the administration of a decedent's estate.
Michael Sampson will co-present at three additional sessions throughout the seminar on topics including a legislative update; major revisions to the 7th edition of the Drafting Wills and Trust Agreements Deskbook; and "Directed Trusts" and how they can be effectively employed in estate and business succession planning.
