AI can be a helpful tool—but should it be trusted to create your estate plan?

In this episode, Estates & Trusts attorneys Danielle Friedman, Herb Fineburg, and Max McCauley discuss the risks of using AI tools and online services to prepare wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.

They explore state-specific ex*****on requirements, self-proving wills, capacity and undue influence challenges, and why beneficiary designations and other legal agreements can take priority over a will. They also share real examples of AI generating incorrect tax figures, hallucinated statutes, and advice that improperly blends laws from different states.

Tune in for practical guidance on creating, coordinating, and regularly reviewing an estate plan that works as intended. https://bit.ly/3St2340
