UNCIVIL MATTERS:
Family Law Issues in Mysteries

 

Speaker: Nancy L. Feldman

Nancy L. Feldman, is an attorney licensed in VA, DC, and MD, and practices family law and estate planning at her office in Arlington, VA.
 
Please join us on June 1, 2013 at BlackFinn American Saloon in Bethesda to hear fellow sister in crime, Nancy L. Feldman, speak about Uncivil Matters: Family Law Issues in Mysteries.
 
Criminal law gets a lot of attention in mystery novels, but sometimes ordinary facets of civil law - courtship, marriage and divorce, children's rights, gifts and inheritances, who has control over property and how to find it if it's hidden, how trusts work, the ground rules in estate fights - may provide the crucial clue, motive or plot twist. And how may a quiet life be affected in these areas in the face of murder, suspicious disappearance, theft, and other egregious behavior?

Nancy will provide you with a primer of terms and concepts, give interesting examples, and dispel common misconceptions, and she invites you to bring in your questions and general inquiries for a lively discussion!
