OBA Trusts & Estates Law PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (ET)

Is genetic/reproductive material property? Can it be used after my death? Should my Will and/or Powers of Attorney contemplate its use?  What happens if genetic material is used after my death? Will the analysis be different for non-heteronormative families? When engaging in estate planning in the modern era, it is becoming more and more common for clients (and their counsel) to ask questions like these, and it is essential that you have the requisite knowledge to respond to them with confidence and spot issues that may arise. 

Hear from our expert panel as they review key terminology and concepts, and share valuable insights on this technical, nuanced and evolving area, including the key considerations estate planning lawyers should be aware of and the possible consequences of failing to properly address them.
