USC Law structured the day-long conference to address typical problems encountered in estate planning, trust and probate administration, client relationships, and law practice economics. Speakers focus on “how-to” techniques, provide and discuss forms used in their practices, and explain how they solve client problems.
The Probate and Trust Conference, sponsored by the USC Law Continuing Legal Education program, with contributions from Wells Fargo Bank and the Daily Journal Corporation, is one of six conferences and institutes hosted by the school each year.
