The passing on of a loved one, of somebody one deeply cares about, is both a visceral experience and legal event. As such, apart from the emotional agony over a loved one's death, there is also a need to be apprised about the legal dimensions of such an event, in the context of succession. Ever wondered whether you have the right estate planning documents in place? Should you have a will or a trust? Do you need an estate plan at all?

With this, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine is doing a webinar on "Successions, Trusts & Estates: An Overview of the Principles and Concepts" on August 13, 2021 by 1:30 PM-3:00 PM in partnership with Southern Block Law. Our guest speaker for this webinar is Atty. Kenneth O. Tamala, MBA, Senior Partner at Southern Block Law. This webinar seeks to provide an overview discussion on, and distillation of, the principles and concepts of Phillipine Succession law, and the process of trust formation and/or estate planning and administration as they relate to heirs and succession.
