Protecting the Estate Planner – The Disciplinary Commission’s New Advisory Opinions

An estate planning practice is fraught with potential ethics issues, from conflicts of interest to client communications and consents, just to name a few. Now, for the first time ever (despite proclamations that this day would never come), the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission is issuing advanced advisory opinions. This new process will allow the estate planner to seek advanced guidance on a multitude of issues that may protect their practice today and potentially for years to come.

At this program, Mike Witte, the Executive Secretary for the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission and the innovator of this new program, will explain the new advisory opinions and how they may benefit estate planning and probate lawyers. 

Speaker:  G. Michael Witte, Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission
