Speaker: Charles A. Redd and Turney P. Berry
Sustained success in an estate planning practice requires that we have a high degree of sensitivity to those situations in which we could owe potentially conflicting duties to multiple parties. If these issues are not identified and resolved early, conflicts of interest could unravel an engagement and result in ethics rules violations. We will discuss the following important issues:
Representing Members of the Same Family
Conflicts That May Arise From Representing Co-Trustees
Using Engagements Letters to Deal With Actual or Potential Conflicts
Nonprofit Board Service
