FMS Claims: A Primer (Postponed to December 9)
November 4, 2021 | 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Important Change
Individual registration through the attendee’s LESA.org account is now required for all LESA programs.
Program access (including access to e-materials) will be assigned to the LESA.org account used on registration. If you do not yet have an account, one will be created for you on checkout. This change will allow for easy access to e-materials and recording(s) (if available) through the attendee’s LESA.org account. If you have any questions, contact us at info@lesa.org.
This program has been postponed to December 9, 2021. Please click here to navigate to the registration page.
The concept of family relief (as it was once called) has evolved into our current Family Maintenance and Support (FMS) provisions. This program will review the fundamental concepts on which FMS is based, and how the courts consider claims. We will review the drafting of wills where there are potential FMS claims, and the obligations of executors to FMS claimants and other beneficiaries.
This program is designed for wills and estates practitioners who are in their early years of practice, or for those who wish to revisit the basics.
We are offering a more in-depth exploration of FMS Claims at LESA’s Refresher 2022: Wills and Estates.
