The final Brown Bag Lunch meeting of the year was held on December 17, 2024. Trusts and Estates section members were happy to gather one last time before the holidays to share practice tips and discuss some interesting trusts and estates issues.
The December meeting began with a conversation about the occasional difficulty with telling the difference between an original Will and a colour copy. One BBLer mentioned that seeing indentations on the back of the paper could be a helpful indicator, but another pointed out that if the testator signed with a sharpie marker, for instance, it would not necessarily leave an impression. Another attendee noted that their practice is to use different, better quality paper only for original Wills, as another way to help differentiate.
