It is not uncommon in estate matters to be faced with a claim by a spouse and in some cases, claims involving more than one spouse.  Claims may also arise against the estate as a result of other romantic relationships of the deceased prior to death.  Carrigan v.

Get up-to-date on where we now stand in respect of the different types of spousal and spousal-like claims that can arise on death and how to effectively navigate these claims.  Gain expert estate planning techniques that may prevent such claims from arising against your client's estate in the future.
