    Estate Attorney & Mediator

     

    Estate planning attorneys are often asked by their clients whether their intended estate plan is fair. But what is fair, and from whose viewpoint is fairness to be judged? This session addresses a series of themes relating to the attorney’s role, from the perspectives of a sociologist, attorneys, and mediators.

     

    Topics


    • Competing principles of fairness and justice
    • Deciding who inherits: family and other beneficiaries
    • Offspring: when equal is not equitable
    • Blended families and other non-traditional arrangements
    • Family mediation in estate planning and beyond
