Succession lawyers have the challenging task of balancing client needs with difficult family dynamics, complicated asset structures and tax considerations. Television Education Network’s 13th annual wills and estates conference will address these challenges, along with other key issues which have dominated the succession law landscape in the last twelve months, including keeping superannuation trustees on the straight and narrow, family provision cases and non-biological children, as well as showing executors the door.

This year’s conference has 2 registration options – you can attend the conference at the Gold Coast in person, or attend it live online.

Book with peace of mind

This conference is scheduled to be run face to face and online.
