At this half day online conference, based on the book, Alex will be joined by members of St John's Chambers Wills & Trusts team to explore the important issues and complexities in more detail. The conference will be chaired by Cara Hough, of IDR Law which is  the only law firm in the UK which specialises purely in the resolution of contentious wills, probate and trust disputes.

The conference will deal with  7 of the most important topics in statutory wills, ranging from how to make an urgent application for a statutory will in a medical emergency, through to negotiating a compromise of a statutory will application out of court, and the ever important issue of costs (See below for more details)

We have have refined the online conference concept into a highly effective training tool which is as far removed from the boring old one-hour/one speaker webinar as it is possible to be. Instead of one speaker, we have 8. By exposing our attendees to a wider variety of voices, they are in turn exposed to a wider range of ideas. Consequently, you can better get to grips with the subject, facilitate a greater understanding of the topic and keep your organisation abreast of fresh and important developments.

Important Notes about Booking

1. If you are booking more than say 14 delegates, it is probably better to make two bookings of half the number of delegates each, starting with the paying delegate and then adding half the free delegates to that booking and then creating a new booking for the rest of the free delegates. The reason for this is that the booking platform time-out kicks in perhaps too quickly and you can lose all the information you inputted. Alternatively you can book your first delegate and send the names, job titles and email addresses of the additional delegates to us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk

2. Payment can be made by credit or debit card or alternatively by invoice. The option to pay by invoice is below the pay by card option in the booking form

3. If you have more than 20 delegates then extra delegates are £20 each. Contact us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk to arrange this

4. If you don't have the complete list of who will be attending you can book for those that you know will be attending and add the others at a later date

5. If you would like to submit questions in advance to the speakers please send them to info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk
