13.30 Registration
14.00 Gates, Games & Gaol: Some very recent cases on the law of easements
Ewan Paton will provide a light-hearted but detailed consideration of some notable recent decisions on the law of easements.
14.35 Adverse Possession: An update and some commonly encountered problems
Brittany Pearce will provide an overview of some of the recent developments in the law of adverse possession including considering a range of commonly encountered problems (and a few suggested solutions).
15.10 Planning Ahead: Best practice to avoid probate and other claims and liabilities following death
Malcolm Warner will review current best practice and recent authority with the aim of ensuring that testamentary dispositions are less vulnerable to challenge. His talk will encompass will drafting, capacity, Inheritance Act issues (including revising approaches in the light of the Ilott decision) and the proposed increases in probate fees (lost with the election but with potential to be resurrected) as well as integrating issues that may arise from proprietary estoppel and related points.
In a talk that should appeal both to litigators and non-contentious practitioners Malcolm will draw upon the wealth of examples in the authorities, and as seen in practice, where a will or disposition is challenged and consider what could have been done to minimise the risk of challenge.
