Advanced Estate Management Masterclass is designed for people who have completed the Beginner/Intermediate Estate Management Masterclass (or our former 101 course) or who have at least a year of experience administering estates. This multi-day course is focused on the more complex parts of estate administration in order to give you a framework for navigating estate disputes.

Note that this is an advanced course and while we will discuss some legal concepts, it is not designed to make you an expert on the law. Instead, the intention is that you leave with a clear sense of when something needs to be escalated to a lawyer, and how to make good decisions on behalf of your charity.

• Bequest administrators (who have completed the Estate Management Masterclass or have at least one year of experience)

• In-house legal who may help the Gifts in Wills team

What will it cover?

• Life estates

• Executor’s commissions
