Estate Planning & Probate, Young Lawyers Division

“You’re a Lawyer, Right?” Estate Planning and Probate 101 to Avoid Committing Malpractice

Description:

We have all been confronted with that question from an acquaintance, a first cousin or a spouse’s coworker: “You’re a lawyer, right?” And you can almost guarantee that the follow up concerns estate planning. “Do I need a will?” “If my grandmother wrote on a napkin that I get her house when she dies when she was drunk at my sister’s wedding, does that count as a will?"

This CLE will cover the fundamentals of estate planning, including wills, powers of attorney and advance directives, as well as common questions that you — and your family members and friends — may have so you can be better prepared to address basic estate planning questions and avoid committing malpractice.

Schedule:

4pm-5pm: How to Avoid Malpractice While Giving Advice – 1 DUAL

Followed by a networking reception at Hotel Indigo, 300 W 6th St., Chattanooga 37402, co-sponsored by the Chattanooga Bar Association Young Lawyers Division
