Simplifying Malpractice Avoidance in Family Matters with Enhanced House Due Diligence  This session reviews common pitfalls that can be prevented with more information during discovery/before mediation of real property issues in family matters.  Examining common legal malpractice claims: failure to identify liens, failure to advise (risks/consequences of taking/not taking various actions), ongoing joint debt &/or joint title; inadequate investigation of asset value/liabilities (incomplete real estate due diligence); inadequate financial settlement; and failure to affect a division of title to real property.   This session simplifies enhanced house diligence (beyond opinions of value/price minus mortgage balances) and leverages the “discovery”/pre-mediation role of real estate-related professionals as due diligence project managers whether the house is kept or sold.  Presented by Kelly Lise Murray, JD
