About the Presentation: This session will discuss the impact of DNA test kit surprises and assisted reproductive technology on estate planning, including (1) inheritance rights of newly-discovered heirs, posthumously conceived children, and children born of donated sperm, eggs or embryos; (2) stored reproductive material as client property; and (3) the changing definitions of family. We also will look at how tried and true rules of document construction and modification can affect a plan gone awry by an unexpected twist in the family tree.
