ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL OF CENTRAL TEXAS

SPONSORED BY:

Speaker: Dr. Gerry W. Beyer

Prof. Beyer’s presentation analyzes judicial developments relating to the Texas law of intestacy, wills, estate administration, trusts, and other estate planning matters. The discussion of each case concludes with a moral, i.e., the important lesson to be learned from the case. By recognizing situations that have led to time consuming and costly litigation in the past, estate planners may reduce the likelihood of the same situations arising with their clients and judges may increase the likelihood of their decisions being upheld on appeal
