Bridging the Gap between Estate Planning and Family Law

This program, presented by Stacey Valentine, will benefit practitioners servicing private clients who have estate planning and family law needs.  Most clients that fall within this category are high net worth or have complicated family structures necessitating the use of more advanced planning techniques.  

Experienced family law attorneys wondering what they might be missing in their property settlement agreements to give their clients an advantage or to ensure that future, unforeseen needs of their clients are met, will find this program particularly helpful.  Additionally, estate planning attorneys hoping to understand how their planning ultimately impacts clients going through a divorce or with post-judgment issues will benefit from the pointers included in this presentation. Ms. Valentine will use specific examples from New Jersey practice, but the course will benefit all family law and estate planning attorneys.

3. Incorporate more advanced concepts into estate planning and divorce settlements

4. Discuss the ways to set yourself apart as an estate planning or family law practitioner when it comes to servicing clients with these overlapping needs
