27th Annual International Private Client Conference
12 Jun - 14 Jun 2022
Session information
The ultimate double cross: I prepared for my divorce but my spouse died; I prepared for death but we are divorcing
Tuesday 14 June (1400 - 1515)
Description
A marriage will end by death or divorce, but have we sufficiently planned for both events? What are the challenges of preparing mainly for death or mainly for divorce for couples of different countries and/or with assets in different jurisdictions?
Can remedies be found when future spouses mainly planned for divorce, but one dies prematurely? Or when both spouses were convinced that it would be their last marriage but finally divorce?
Our speakers, covering both common law and civil law jurisdictions, will consider the pitfalls to avoid and debate on solutions.
