This session examines the growing intersection between private client advisory and high-conflict family disputes involving abduction and coercion. From cross-border child abduction during custody battles to the unlawful removal or manipulation of elderly individuals — often referred to as "granny-napping" — these cases raise serious concerns around legal capacity, undue influence, and succession planning. We will explore the legal remedies available under international and domestic frameworks, the evidentiary challenges in proving coercion, and the proactive steps advisers can take to safeguard vulnerable clients and preserve testamentary intent.
