About the Webinar

Equitable remedies can unravel carefully constructed estate plans and understanding how equitable remedies apply from the get-go may affect structuring decisions. This session reviews the more common types of equitable remedies that may be relied upon to challenge an estate plan and how best to bullet proof the estate from attack, including:

  • Equitable claims - how might they arise to challenge the estate plan?

  • Showing duress in the development of the estate plan

  • When will unconscionable conduct be found?

  • Implications of and proprietary estoppel and the consequent constructive trust on the estate plan

  • Strategies when the risk of equitable remedies arises - how can the risks be managed to protect the estate plan from attack

  • Case study - what happens if a younger family member relies on representations as to the estate in the provision of services to the family business?
