Ethical considerations for attorneys handling estates will also be covered, as well as accounting requirements for wrapping up a decedent’s estate. Where appropriate, the faculty will highlight the particular procedure and process in Surrogate’s Court with which you should be familiar in order to handle probate and administration matters effectively in that forum.
