Preserving family wealth – Wills and Pre-nuptial agreements

Date:

8th July 2009

Andrew Jackson is hosting a breakfast seminar for accountants and financial advisers at the World Trade Centre in Hull, designed to provide practical information for you to use in helping your clients protect their wealth and provide for their families.

The presentations from lawyers in our family and private client law teams will look at suitable ways for clients to balance the need to protect their wealth when thinking of marriage against the desire to make proper provision for spouses and children of earlier relationships, in the event of death.

The presentations will look at:

• an update on pre-nuptial agreements
• the increasing reliability upon, and use of, post-nuptial agreements
• the strategies employed in succession planning for second marriages
• the increasing incidence of Inheritance Act claims, why they arise and how to avoid them
