Guardianship matters rarely stay simple, often presenting complications that keep practitioners up at night. Register today for this essential program to tap into the latest strategies you need to know from some of the state's leading experts, so that you can confidently navigate even the most complex matters that come your way. As an attendee, you will learn practical strategies for handling difficult or unusual cases, including temporary, international, and contested guardianships, and how to apply them to get the best results in the matters you handle. Our panel of experts will also share the most important recent trends in the use of special guardians and the intersection of guardianships and Medicaid eligibility.
The panel will detail how to address the realities of contested guardianships, from identifying red flags early to managing family disputes in court. You will learn best practices for petitioning legal fees, documenting your work, and defending against objections, so you can take on these cases with confidence. Our faculty will show you the key ethical considerations for using artificial intelligence (AI) in guardianship administration. Whether you practice primarily in guardianships or encounter them through estate planning, family law, or personal injury matters, you will come away better equipped to spot complications early and resolve them effectively.
