CCP §664.6 provides for courts dismissing cases but retaining jurisdiction for enforcement of settlements and contains special provisions for probate and family law cases where real estate transfers often take place. Recent changes meant to clarify or simplify this process may also pose issues that complicate the settlement process and require careful attention to detail that may affect the settlement years down the road. Life estates, deferred or contingent sales or transfers, and long-term payouts implicate drafting concerns for counsel that will be addressed in this program. A moderator will guide the discussion.
