Why Attend?

Competence in this area requires you to be up-to-date on basic estate planning documents, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.

Review language that should be included in estate planning documents

In the age of Internet, digital assets have become more prevalent and, in some cases, valuable. Almost everyone has a digital asset (e.g., an email account, a Facebook account, or a Twitter account). Virginia has adopted the Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (the “Act”) to modernize fiduciary law to work in conjunction with Virginia’s existing law on probate, guardianship and conservatorships, trusts, and powers of attorney. However, not all estate planning documents specifically address digital assets, which could have unintended consequences and restrict access by fiduciaries.

MCLE Credit Caveat: The MCLE Board measures credits by the time you spend in attendance. If you enter a seminar late or leave it early, or both, you must reflect those adjustments accurately in the credits you report on your credit reporting form. A code will be given at the end of the seminar, which must be written on your MCLE form.
