Poor drafting can lead to ambiguity and possibly failure of the Will. The Courts will not attempt to unravel a poorly drafted Will where the meanings are unclear. Wills are viewed by the Courts as being drafted by a well meaning amateur or a professional and the professionally drafted Will will not receive the same leniency as the ‘home grown’ variety. Trusts should be written with as much flexibility as possible to give longevity to a Will and in many circumstance the more flexible the Will the less likelihood of errors there will be. Drafting for Success will teach the student the art of drafting through the use of the Sure Will Writer drafting program, but is applicable to any and all software programs and for the more experienced drafter who uses loose precedents.
The course will cover:
- How to enter your instructions into the program
- Hints & Tips
- Shortcuts to the most used toolbars
- How to manually edit the will document
- The use of trusts within Wills
o Discretionary
o Interest in possession
o FLITS
o Disabled Trusts
o Protective Property Trusts
o And more
- Learn to develop your own drafting style
Remember any software package is a tool kit; it is not a substitute for education, and experience.
