A pre-recorded streaming AUDIO replay of one session from the May 2022 live seminar, The Conner-Zaritsky 43rd Annual Advanced Estate Planning and Administration Seminar.
Cosponsored with the Wills, Trusts and Estates Section of The Virginia Bar Association
This session discusses the impact of DNA test kit surprises and assisted reproductive technology on estate planning, including (1) inheritance rights of newly discovered heirs, posthumously conceived children, and children born of donated sperm, eggs, or embryos; (2) stored reproductive material as client property; and (3) the changing definitions of family. We also look at how tried and true rules of document construction and modification can affect a plan gone awry by an unexpected twist in the family tree.
