Construction & Rectification of Wills - The Legal Framework & Recent Case Law

Introduction

This new virtual classroom seminar will equip practitioners with the practical knowledge to identify cases where rectification or construction is an issue, an understanding of the legal framework, and the procedural know-how to run such cases effectively.

It is suitable for litigation solicitors practising in England and Wales, with experience in private client work, particularly those specialising in contentious probate and trust litigation who seek to deepen their expertise in resolving disputes arising from defective or ambiguous testamentary documents.
