DESCRIPTION:\n\n \nLuncheon: 11:30AM-1:00PM\n \nTitle: “I Prepared the Decedent’s Will” – To Tell or Not to Tell? That Is the Question? [ethics presentation]\n \nEvery day, attorneys and other estate professionals traverse an ethical minefield with regard to their possession of original wills and their copies. For example, the attorney reads in the paper, sees on the Internet, or is told by the client’s accountant, insurance professional, or financial planner that one of the attorney’s former clients has died. The information indicates that the client died intestate. This is news to the attorney and perhaps the client’s other advisors. What should happen? Is the attorney obligated to come forward and present the original if the attorney has it or a copy to the court? If the attorney doesn’t have to, may the attorney? And may other professionals tell the family that the attorney prepared the will and has the original or a copy? This presentation explores these and similar difficult questions about revealing information about a client’s testamentary documents after death.\n \nAbout our speaker: Gerry W. Beyer, Governor Preston E. Smith Regents Professor of Law \n Prof. Beyer, a nationally and Texas recognized expert in estate planning, joined the faculty in 2005 as the first holder of the prestigious Governor Preston E. Smith Regents Professorship. He teaches, researches, speaks, and publishes in the areas of estate planning, wills and trusts, probate, and property. In recognition of his expertise and contributions to the legal profession, the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils inducted him into the Estate Planning Hall of Fame in 2015.\n \nHe has received dozens of teaching awards from many law schools throughout his 40 year career including Texas Tech University, Santa Clara University, and St. Mary's University. At Texas Tech, he has been voted Professor of the Year seven times by various groups and has received the Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award (the most prestigious University-wide teaching award at Texas Tech), the President's Excellence in Teaching Award, and the 2015 President's Academic Achievement Award. In 2012, he was elected to the Texas Tech University Teaching Academy.
