ACTEC Commentaries

This Sixth Edition of The ACTEC Commentaries on the Model Rules of Professional Conduct continues the tradition of providing guidance on the Model Rules of Professional Conduct particular to estate and trust practitioners.

This edition addresses changes to the estate planning and probate practice, and the practice of law in general, since 2016, when the Fifth Edition was published. Topics include the effect of the recent pandemic on the use of technology in the practice and subsequent changes to the formalities of document execution that had been in place for centuries; increasing concern about elder abuse and the dilemma of the client with diminishing capacity; and changes in family law and issues that have been addressed in cases and ethics opinions around the country since the Fifth Edition.

The editorial development and production of the ACTEC Commentaries is supported by The ACTEC Foundation.
