Two of our lawyers, Irma K. Nimetz and Frank W. Streng, who Co-Chair our Estate & Trust Litigation group, lectured at a Continuing Legal Education Program for the Westchester County Bar Association‘s Trust & Estates and Tax Section, entitled, “In Terrorem Clauses: Estate Planning and Litigation Scenarios.” Irma and Frank had won an appeal in the New York Court of Appeals (Carlson v. Colangelo) on an “in terrorem” clause, and the program focused on how lawyers should advise their clients when they are facted with an “in terrorem” cause problem.
