Austin raised the burden of proof in divorces that contest the validity of post-nuptial agreements and estate plans.  Each married party should have their own counsel, and this means working collaboratively to ensure that the burden of proof is covered should there be an eventual dissolution of marriage. The problems that might come to your practice can be largely mitigated by creating collaborative teams to ensure each spouse and family member has sufficient representation, advice and counsel.

Join Cristi McMurdie as she shares the collaborative practice model used in the family law arena that is growing in Arizona.  Examine the differences in both process and in objective between the family law collaborative model and the estate planning collaborative model as laid out in the NAEPC High Performance Teaming White paper attached for your review and preparation for the meeting.  Will your practice and your clients benefit by utilizing the new collaborative model suggested in the NAEPC High Performance Teaming White paper.  Come and add to the discussion with your questions and ideas.
