Wills, Trusts, And Administration Of Estates, James C. Rehberg Dec 1992

Wills, Trusts, And Administration Of Estates, James C. Rehberg

Mercer Law Review

This survey period has been interesting primarily because fiduciary law seemed to have paused for a breather. Immediately preceding this survey period, the General Assembly enacted the first truly comprehensive trust code in Georgia's history.' After the adoption of this code, with some relatively minor revisions, a time of study and evaluation of the new code, rather than litigation and legislative proposals, seems only natural. The few new statutes concerning fiduciary law will be covered after a discussion of a smaller number than usual of appellate court decisions in this area.

Abusive Discretion: Discretionary And Supplemental Trusts Created In Settlement Of Personal Injury Claims, Brad Jones Berkness Apr 1992

Abusive Discretion: Discretionary And Supplemental Trusts Created In Settlement Of Personal Injury Claims, Brad Jones Berkness

Washington Law Review

Discretionary and supplemental trusts are often created in settlement of personal injury lawsuits to shield the settlement proceeds from the beneficiary's care-provider's claims. Washington courts provide no clear direction on creditor access to such trusts. This Comment argues for a legislative provision in Washington that makes these trusts accessible to creditors who provide necessities to an injured party. This Comment argues for allowing access regardless of any discretion or supplemental support language in the trust, because these trusts are self-settled and violate public policy.

Ademption And The Domain Of Formality In Wills Law, Gregory S. Alexander Jan 1992

Ademption And The Domain Of Formality In Wills Law, Gregory S. Alexander

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The 1990 revision of the Uniform Probate Code ("UPC") marks the second stage of probate reform in the second half of this century. The first stage was the adoption of the original UPC. While it included some changes in the substantive law of wills, its primary objective was to simplify probate procedure. The second stage, by contrast, focuses almost entirely on the substantive law of wills and will substitutes. It changes several of the primary rules of wills law, including the traditional rule requiring strict compliance with execution formalities. It also makes significant changes in the subsidiary rules of wills …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. Rodney Johnson Jan 1992

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1992 session of the General Assembly enacted legislation dealing with wills, trusts, and estates that added, amended, or repealed a number of sections of the Code of Virginia (the Code). In addition, in the year ending June 1, 1992, there were five cases from the Supreme Court of Virginia and two from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals which involve issues of interest to both the general practitioner and the specialist in wills, trusts, and estates. This article analyzes each of these legislative and judicial developments.


Multijurisdictional Estates And Article Ii Of The Uniform Probate Code, Jeffrey Schoenblum Jan 1992

Multijurisdictional Estates And Article Ii Of The Uniform Probate Code, Jeffrey Schoenblum

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The prefatory note to the 1990 revisions of article II of the Uniform Probate Code ("UPC") indicates that the changes wrought are a response to several developments since the promulgation of the UPC in 1969. The prefatory note emphasizes the decline of formalism, the proliferation of will substitutes, the multiple-marriage society, and the rise of the partnership/marital sharing theory as stimulative of the revisions introduced. The theme of this article is that one other crucial development has been essentially ignored. No serious attempt has yet been made by the drafters to address the immensely complex yet commonplace issues associated with, …

Dispensing With Wills' Act Formalities For Substantively Valid Wills, J. Rodney Johnson Jan 1992

Dispensing With Wills' Act Formalities For Substantively Valid Wills, J. Rodney Johnson

Law Faculty Publications

This article's thesis is that if it can be established by clear and convincing evidence (i) that a writing was intended to be a will, (ii) that the putative testator had the requisite capacity, and (iii) that the writing was not the product of fraud, duress or undue influence, then the writing ought to be admitted to probate as a will, even though it might fail to comply with some of the formalities contained in the statute of wills. Those who accept this thesis will agree that the present practice ofrequiring strict compliance with the formalities of the statute of …


The Upc's New Survivorship And Antilapse Provisions, Edward C. Halbach Jr., Lawrence W. Waggoner Jan 1992

The Upc's New Survivorship And Antilapse Provisions, Edward C. Halbach Jr., Lawrence W. Waggoner

Articles

Law governing transfers of family property has long struggled with questions of survivorship in their many and varied forms. Important results can and regularly do turn on how such issues are resolved.


Marital Property Rights In Transition, Lawrence W. Waggoner Jan 1992

Marital Property Rights In Transition, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Articles

The subject of "marital property rights" is very timely because those rights are in a state of transition. The term "marital property rights" covers a vast multitude of rights or interests conferred by law on persons who occupy the status of spouse. This lecture is divided into four discrete, yet related segments. The first segment addresses how the law allocates original ownership between spouses in a marriage. The second segment turns to the intestate share of the surviving spouse. This is not a topic that high-powered estate planners get involved in very much because intestate estates are usually fairly small. …


Spousal Rights In Our Multiple-Marriage Society: The Revised Uniform Probate Code, Lawrence W. Waggoner Jan 1992

Spousal Rights In Our Multiple-Marriage Society: The Revised Uniform Probate Code, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Articles

The transformation of the American family constitutes one of the great phenomenons of the past two decades. The traditional Leave It to Beaver family no longer prevails in American society. To be sure, families consisting of the wage-earning husband, the homemaking and child-rearing wife, and their two joint children still exist. But divorce rates are astonishingly high and remarriage abounds. In fact, there is an increasing prevalence in the population of marriages that are more likely to end in divorce than others-marriages in which one or both partners were divorced before and marriages of couples who cohabited prior to marriage.


Reforming The Law Of Gratuitous Transfers: The New Uniform Probate Code, John H. Langbein, Lawrence W. Waggoner Jan 1992

Reforming The Law Of Gratuitous Transfers: The New Uniform Probate Code, John H. Langbein, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Articles

In the mid-1980s the Uniform Law Commission undertook a landmark revision of the American law of gratuitous transfers. These reforms culminated in a drastically revised Uniform Probate Code ("UPC"). The revisions inspired the Albany Law Review to organize this symposium issue for the purpose of examining the 1990 UPC. In this introductory paper, we point to the main themes of the reform movement, discuss some of the traits and constraints of the uniform law process, and comment on some of the suggestions and insights that appear in the symposium articles.
