Session information
Fifty ways to make a family: surviving and thriving in the task of advising the modern family
Tuesday 7 March (0915 - 1030)
Description
The next-generation members of our UHNW mobile private client families are spreading out around the globe. In new countries, the next generation finds and employs new ways to build their families. Please join this experienced panel of family law lawyers and international private client lawyers as they dissect the intricacies of advising families built by assisted reproductive technologies including posthumous conception and surrogacy, possibly in modern/untraditional family forms such as LGBTQ relationships or polyamorous relationships, and possibly in countries whose parentage laws permit a court to order that a child has more than two parents. How do these advancements in the law affect existing plans? How should we be advising our clients from a planning perspective going forward?
