Succession Planning
Lawyers have an ethical obligation to take steps to ensure their client’s interests are protected upon the lawyer’s death or disability. Do you have a plan if something happens to you and you are unable to practice? You should. Your plan will vary depending on the type of practice you maintain. This article provides some guidance.
The Minnesota State Bar Association and this Office are partnering on a project to provide resources for lawyers to assist them in developing succession plans. Watch this space for that information.
