Hull & Hull LLP Breakfast Series - January 17, 2008

By Hull & Hull LLP

The administration of an estate encompasses a significant portion of most estate solicitors' practices. Even if the estate is being competently administered, it is still possible that many remedies which would be useful for the beneficiaries could be overlooked in the process. It is for this reason that even the most seasoned estate practitioner may encounter difficulties.

One issue that comes to mind is what remedies are available to the beneficiaries of an estate when a Will is lost? Is a photocopy of the Will sufficient? What if those with a financial interest in the estate object to the granting of a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee With a Will? Is it possible to compel production of the deceased's testamentary documents?

To find out more about these and other related issues, please mark your calendar and register for Hull & Hull LLP's upcoming Estate, Trust and Capacity Law Breakfast Series scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Thursday, January 17, 2008 at the Ontario Bar Association (2nd Floor, 20 Toronto Street, Salon 2 & 3). This program will feature three presentations by our firm's lawyers on the following topics:

Ian Hull will discuss "Estate Law Remedies - What to watch out for when administering an Estate";
Suzana Popovic-Montag will present "Can I encroach and, if so, how? Trust issues in an estates context"; and
Craig Vander Zee will speak on "Considerations in Negotiating the Removal and/or Replacement of a Trustee."
