Queensland: 5th Annual
Wills, Estates & Succession Conference

New developments in administration and litigation

12-13 March 2009, Marriott Hotel, Brisbane

Insulating inheritance and assets from unwanted distributions upon death are at the forefront of your client’s concerns. Ensuring that the right people end up with the right proportion of interests is also becoming increasingly contested in the Queensland courts.

When your clients are living longer, accumulating more wealth and distributing assets in more ways than ever before, update your skills and awareness accordingly.

The QLD 5th Annual Wills, Estates & Succession Conference is designed for practitioners of all levels involved with wills and estates who focus on either administering or litigating death benefits.
