Which American president was the first to incorporate arbitration as a dispute resolution method in his will?

Every lawyer swears an oath to maintain the secrets of clients. This is the client’s guarantee that when he or she consults a lawyer about professional, legal and personal matters, including wealth management, business transactions, and family relationships, this information shall remain strictly confidential. This guarantee is absolute and fundamental to the integrity of the legal profession and the relationship between lawyers and their clients. Nowhere is this promise of confidentiality more crucial than when a client is deceased and thus no longer available to revise or interpret his/her final instructions as incorporated in a will or trust document.
