“We had an excellent turn out for the annual You Be the Judge event,” said Elizabeth Hughes, chair of the Probate & Guardianship Committee of the Miami Dade Bar Association. “Top probate and guardianship practitioners from around South Florida presented on novel probate topics which provided all participants with a learning opportunity while assisting in the pro bono efforts for Put Something Back. A win, win! Probate Division Yvonne Colodny supported the event by welcoming participants, encouraging our pro bono efforts, and providing the group with local important updates. We could not be happier with how the half day seminar turned out.”

The speakers covered topics such as  “The Dutiful Child – A Very Brady Will Contest;” “Homemade Wills and the Challenge of Divining Testator’s Intent;” “Effect of Divorce on Testate Bequest;” “Court Approval in Guardianship Matters;” “Dead Body Issue; Trustee Discretion/Removal Issue;” and “Healthcare Surrogates.” This CLE had 78 attendees.
