What happens when death collides with family litigation? This comprehensive seminar guides family law practitioners through the complex challenges that arise when a party dies during or after matrimonial or non-dissolution proceedings.
Our distinguished panel will explore the following topics:
- How to proceed if one party to a divorce action dies during the litigation
- How to properly present evidence to support the equitable distribution factors if one party is deceased
- How to proceed if a party in a non-dissolution action dies
- If child support from a parent die when that parent dies
- Custody, parenting time, and visitation issues that arise when one parent dies. Do grandparents have rights, do siblings, do aunts and uncles?
- Appropriate language to use in settlement agreements and wills to provide for a child’s care, custody, and support in the event one parent (or both) dies after the divorce
- Collecting legal fees from the estate of a deceased client
- Effective use of life insurance
Don’t miss out on this practical session for practitioners who want to be fully prepared for the unexpected twists of family law.
