    Product Description

    Addiction and mental illness can cause high level family strife and risk-laden asset dissipation. Addicts act in manipulative ways—crushing family relations and jeopardizing family resources. Certain mental illness episodes can have irreparable ramifications for family relations and family resources. Families in crisis turn to lawyers and clinicians for help.

    Massachusetts is facing a growing addiction epidemic, joining so many other states throughout the country. Estate planning, probate litigation and family law attorneys need to use their specialties to leverage family protection, asset preservation and behavioral change by family members who struggle with addiction and mental illness.

    This program focuses on indispensable legal solutions for clients who have family relations, family assets and family businesses at risk due to the addiction or mental illness of a loved one.
