It is said that "the vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies" but wealth-creators may be justified in feeling that it is their right to do so where their money is involved. Where they do, what are the perils of legislating for the future when estate planning? And do even the best-laid schemes ever succeed in the face of a determined litigant?  

This session will examine the issues that arise when advising wealth-creators on estate planning which is intended to endure for generations and will debate the best way of preventing future disputes. Is early communication, education and expectation management really more effective than robust vehicles and no-contest incentives?
