Family Law Committee
Description
Most laws regarding how the succession and taxation of estates are designed with a traditional nuclear family in mind. But the definition of marriage and issue is not as clear cut as the law may allow. This session will explore how as families evolve and reproductive technology advances, how should modern families plan for their future.
