Madison Estate Council Virtual Networking and CE Event: A "Re-Broadcast" of the NAEPC - The Robert G. Alexander Webinar Series:

The Impact of Testamentary Documents in a Divorce: a Divorce Attorneys’ Perspective

In this program we will explore misconceptions in divorce, mainly how one’s testamentary plans
may actually play out in the process. We will examine the concerns to weigh when the parties
have trust assets (marital, separate, or hybrid property). We will discuss how testamentary
documents may not completely shield a party’s assets from a claim for equitable distribution,
spousal and child support, and attorneys’ fees and costs. We will analyze how a party’s actions
before, during, and after divorce may impact the ultimate treatment of their assets and
liabilities.
