Until Death Do Us Part: Marital Property Characterization: James P. Lamping. Esq.
NOTE: Registration closes 10am on 9/16/20

Property characterization is frequently among the most hotly contested issues when a marriage ends in divorce. However, it is often glossed over when a marriage is instead ended by death. This program examines the authority relating to property characterization in the postmortem setting, including legislative history which reveals that the rules are not as clear-cut as some would believe.
