How to Avoid Challenges to a Client’s Testamentary Documents: Pre-Mortem Validation and No-Contest Clauses to the Rescue!

Morris Nichols partner Todd Flubacher will co-present a webinar on “How to Avoid Challenges to a Client’s Testamentary Documents: Pre-Mortem Validation and No-Contest Clauses to the Rescue!” on Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

In recent years, many states have enacted pre-mortem validation statutes enabling testators or settlors to take proactive steps to avoid will or trust contests. Todd and co-speaker Amy Kanyuk (McDonald & Kanyuk) will discuss pre-mortem validation statutes as a mechanism to be used during the testator’s life to ensure testamentary documents are declared valid and to avoid post-death challenges. They will also explore so-called no-contest provisions that have been validated by statute or case law, another approach that offers a strong deterrent to will contests.
