ILM Annual Conference – a big thank you!

May 15, 2019

Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s sold out annual conference in association with Michelmores. The day was a great success, with more delegates than ever before, and we have had a lot of positive feedback from delegates, speakers and sponsors.

Members can now access the slides in Members Only area of the website, and a link to a conference survey has been sent to all delegates. If you attended the conference but have not received the survey link, please email comms@legacymanagement.org.uk

A wide range of speakers and sessions gave delegates an overview of all the main issues currently affecting the legacy sector.

Tony from Michelmores, our headline sponsor, kicked off the day with a look at recent legacy cases

Meg and Kath from Legacy Foresight gave their regular update on the legacy market

Jennifer Ridgway from Michelmores spoke about IHT pitfalls

Philip Parrott from Michelmores looked at property problems

Kirsty from Macmillan and ILM’s Nichola Sims updated delegates on ILM’s Professional Development programme

The panel discussion focused on accrual issues

Ed Owen from HMCTS spoke to delegates about changes to the wills notification service

Congratulations!

A big congratulations to our award winners – Nick Duncan, Legacy Officer at St Nicholas Hospice Care in Bury St Edmunds who won our CiCLA Student of the Year award, and Blerta Clubb of Save the Children UK who picked up the award for Legacy Professional of the Year, as voted for by ILM members.
