Partner Larry Osborn recently presented at a seminar titled “Challenging a Will or Trust: Complex Tactics for Experienced Practitioners,” hosted by the National Business Institute (NBI), focusing on key issues surrounding fraud and forgery in trust and estate matters.
During the session, Osborn provided a detailed look at fraud and forgery claims, including the evidentiary challenges involved in proving authenticity. He also examined the reliability of holographic wills and discussed emerging concerns related to remote notarization and electronic wills—areas that continue to evolve as technology reshapes estate planning and administration.
“Questions of authenticity are at the core of many trust and estate disputes,” said Osborn. “As new tools and technologies become more widely used, it’s critical for practitioners to understand both the opportunities and the risks they introduce.”
The seminar brought together attorneys and professionals seeking practical guidance on navigating complex and often high-stakes disputes. Osborn’s presentation highlighted both foundational legal principles and forward-looking considerations to help attendees better assess and address potential vulnerabilities in estate documents.
