MHNA — a global consulting and training firm — provides innovative, intellectually stimulating, practically applicable courses to the entire inheritance crime-fighting community worldwide (all inheritance crime, wherever committed and by whom, is more or less generic). You can find details on MHNA courses here (some ready-made ones) and here (design your own from a substantial list of topics).
MHNA courses cover relevant US federal law and the relevant laws of every US state. We even cover nuances and subtleties at the county level.
MHNA courses cover relevant laws of England and every Commonwealth jurisdiction (except, of course, Scotland).
MHNA courses cover inheritance crime in European civil-law jurisdictions including France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, all of Scandinavia etc.
MHNA course audiences particularly include (for example):-
police, including desk officers, beat officers and the most seasoned senior detectives. It really is time to drop "It's a civil matter."
prosecutors, including county prosecutors and federal prosecutors. Come election time, what will you have done about local inheritance crime? And why is the other guy getting all the credit, prominence, promotion and publicity for going after it?
civil lawyers, including practitioners in chancery, surrogate, probate, insolvency and other courts, and lawyers for heirs, estate managers and others caught up in inheritance-related situations
crime lawyers, including those aspiring to expertise in inheritance crime (which you probably won't find in any standard textbook on criminal law). It's a highly technical subject with a high risk of the lawyer missing the point (and then trying to cover it up)
estate managers (MHNA's generic term for executors, ad col grantees, interim administrators, full administrators etc.)
heirs experiencing varying degrees of apprehension and suspicion. MHNA training will set you up to calmly, rationally, effectually handle protracted estate management of an intricate estate
tax authorities: MHNA practically guarantees that you will miss some tax-relevant inheritance crime…
private investigators retained by heirs and others. Know what to look for and what you're looking at
judges. However long in the tooth you might feel, MHNA will teach you something new every time.
MHNA has a relaxed, flexible approach to assembling and delivering our training. MHNA does not believe that any cookie-cutter course genuinely fits all: inheritance-related subjects of concern to you are a function of local law, lore, culture, community and other factors that make everyone different.
Whatever your role and whatever your needs and circumstances, we believe you should be directly involved in constructing MHNA training programs that best suit you.
To start, you can find:-
a few of our favorite course subjects, and some ready-to-go courses, here
some course components here, for you to design and build your own courses.
Full details of each course component are available on request.
None of this is set in stone. MHNA is infinitely adaptable to your requirements. Feel free to mix and match, add and remove, substitute, amend etc. anything and everything to suit. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for, let us know and we will include it. (MHNA reserves the right to argue with you if we think a course of your own design is not optimal for your purpose.)
