Family Mediation in the Estate Administration Environment:Dispute Management Techniques

This session will discuss family tensions that arise in the context of trusts and estates. This session aims to answer two critical questions. First, what techniques can be used in the estate planning process to avoid disputes? Secondly, what techniques can be used in the estate and trust administration process to avoid turmoil?

Where did grandma’s wedding ring go? Through proper mediation techniques, some disputes can be handled without litigation. Family counseling and legal maneuvering often intersect in an estate dispute setting. This session will discuss proper drafting strategies that protect and indemnify fiduciary clients, such as trustees, executors, and conservators.

Speaker: Edward “Ted” H. Miller, Esq. | Intermediate

Generational Differences - Mind the Gap

Unlike any time in our nation’s history, multiple generations are employed in the workplace. We are working alongside co-workers old enough to be our parents and at the same time employees young enough to be our children. Senior partners are planning for retirement and adults born in the last decade of the 20th Century are entering the workforce. Every generation has a different view of the world. That view is dictated by national and world events, public opinion, and viewpoints. Attitudes and expectations have a great effect on each generation’s view of the workplace. What is important to a 65-year-old employee will probably not have nearly the importance to a 21-year-old employee. Conflict is inevitable and production and morale will rapidly decline without cooperation throughout the company. Once differences are acknowledged and accepted, and respect is given to the employee as well as the strengths of each group, common ground and shared values combine to encourage and increase productivity.

Speaker: Jaye L. Koch, ACP | Basic

Mock Trial - Part 1 & 2

Most importantly, at the end of the trial there will be a question and answer session.

Receiving the necessary documents from the client, the reconstructionist will be able to assist in the litigation of the case and determine the Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of the crash.
