Family disputes can be costly, public and deeply damaging, making prevention as important as resolution. This session will focus on practical ways to anticipate and mitigate the consequences of intrafamily litigation. Topics will include ensuring wishes are expressed as clearly as possible, strengthening contemporaneous evidence of capacity and freedom from undue influence during life, and the role and effectiveness of in terrorem clauses. The discussion will consider how advisers can help families reduce the likelihood of conflict while preserving relationships and long-term objectives.
