Many of the claims LPLC sees in the wills and estates area of law relate to mistakes in the drafting of wills including where the client’s instructions are not accurately reflected in the will. This webinar considers wills drafting claims and tips will be provided on how to avoid these claims.

Wills drafting scenarios are also presented along with a discussion on different solutions to various issues.

To get the most out of this webinar it is recommended that you review your process for drafting wills and compare your process to the information contained in the LPLC wills file note and instruction sheet. You will find these documents here.
