[WSBAPT] Conflict Language for Engagement

[Karen E. Boxx]

Brent – ACTEC has an engagement letter guide that includes sample letters for joint representation of spouses, as well as engagement letters for a number of other common EP and probate representation. It’s funded by the ACTEC foundation so it’s free to everyone.  The letter for spousal representation has conflict language.    FYI this guide was finished in 2017 and is being revised now, but I expect that process will take another year or so to get done.  You can find the guide here:  https://www.actec.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACTEC_2017_Engagement_Letters.pdf

Subject: [WSBAPT] Conflict Language for Engagement

Greetings Colleagues -

With the start of the new year, I am updating my engagement agreement and want to add more specific language for the conflict waiver to represent a husband and wife together.  Would any of you be willing to send me examples of your conflict language?

Thank you!
