Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. Rodney Johnson
Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. Rodney Johnson
University of Richmond Law Review
The General Assembly enacted legislation dealing with wills, trusts, and estates that added or amended a number of sections of the Virginia Code in its 2005 Session. In addition, there were two opinions from the Supreme Court of Virginia that presented issues of interest to the general practitioner as well as to the specialist in wills, trusts, and estates during the period covered by this review. This article reports on all of these legislative and judicial developments.
The Virginia Uniform Trust Code, John E. Donaldson, Robert T. Danforth
The Virginia Uniform Trust Code, John E. Donaldson, Robert T. Danforth
University of Richmond Law Review
In its 2005 Session, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 891,1 thus adopting the Uniform Trust Code ("UTC"), with modifications considered appropriate to this state's institutions, traditions, and jurisprudence. The Virginia Uniform Trust Code ("Virginia UTC"), set forth in new Chapter 31 of Title 55 of the Virginia Code, has an effective date of July 1, 2006, but, once in effect, it will be applicable (with some exceptions) to trusts created before, on, or after that date. The new Virginia UTC, which encompasses the great bulk of the principles and rules that comprise the law of trusts in Virginia, …

Perpetuities Or Tax: Explaining The Rise Of The Perpetual Trust, Max M. Schanzenbach, Robert H. Sitkoff
Perpetuities Or Tax: Explaining The Rise Of The Perpetual Trust, Max M. Schanzenbach, Robert H. Sitkoff
Public Law and Legal Theory Papers
By abolishing the Rule Against Perpetuities, 21 states have validated perpetual trusts. The prevailing view among scholars is that the 1986 generation skipping transfer (GST) tax prompted the movement to abolish the Rule by conferring a salient tax advantage on long-term trusts. However, an alternate view holds that demand for perpetual trusts stems from donors’ preference for control independent of tax considerations. Proponents of both views have adduced supporting anecdotal evidence. Using state-level panel data on trust assets prior to the adoption of the GST tax, we examine whether a state’s abolition of the Rule gave the state an advantage …
A Prudential Exercise: Abstention And The Probate Exception To Federal Diversity Jurisdiction, Christian J. Grostic
A Prudential Exercise: Abstention And The Probate Exception To Federal Diversity Jurisdiction, Christian J. Grostic
Michigan Law Review
Ann-Marie Brege's parents established an irrevocable trust in 1985, with Ann-Marie as sole beneficiary. When Merrill Lynch Trust Co. took over as trustee years later, however, the trust's principal dropped sharply, losing over half its value in just a few years. Ann-Marie sued in Michigan probate court, alleging that Merrill Lynch had violated its legal duties in administering the trust. Since Ann-Marie was from New York and Merrill Lynch had its headquarters in New Jersey, Merrill Lynch had an apparently easy argument for diversity jurisdiction. In an unremarkable turn of events, Merrill Lynch filed a notice of removal to federal …

Rev. Proc. 2005-24 And The Upc Elective Share, Lawrence W. Waggoner
Rev. Proc. 2005-24 And The Upc Elective Share, Lawrence W. Waggoner
Law & Economics Working Papers Archive: 2003-2009
This article discusses Revenue Procedure 2005-24, which came as a bombshell to the estate-planning bar. The Rev. Proc. requires a spousal waiver of elective-share rights in order for a charitable remainder annuity trust (CRAT) or a charitable remainder unitrust (CRUT) created on or after June 28, 2005, to qualify for a charitable deduction. The elective share is a statutory provision common to most probate codes in non-community-property states that protect a decedent’s surviving spouse against disinheritance.
The Rev. Proc. is primarily though apparently not exclusively addressed to the elective share of the Uniform Probate Code (UPC). Unfortunately, the Rev. Proc. …
Lingering Questions Regarding The Devise Of Black's Acre: How Many Witnesses Are Required To Prove The Execution Of A Lost Will?, Sarah Shirey
Washington Law Review
Prior to the 1994 revisions to Washington's lost will statute, courts required that execution of a lost will be proved by a preponderance of the evidence. In In re Estate of Black, the Washington State Supreme Court announced that under the revised lost will statute, execution of a lost will must be shown by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence. However, the Black court did not clearly define the quantum of proof necessary to meet this new burden. The dissent in Black read the majority opinion as creating a "two witness requirement," necessitating testimony from both attesting witnesses to meet …

The Charity In Bankruptcy And Ghosts Of Donors Past, Present, And Future (Symposium), Evelyn Brody
The Charity In Bankruptcy And Ghosts Of Donors Past, Present, And Future (Symposium), Evelyn Brody
Evelyn Brody
The bankruptcy of a charity represents the clash of two policy regimes: charity law's willingness to preserve assets for the public purpose determined by the donor as against bankruptcy law's desire to maximize assets for distribution to creditors. As a general rule, assets will be distributed to creditors; as the courts say, 'a man must be just before he is generous.' However, when a charitable donee goes out of existence or otherwise becomes unable to perform a charitable trust or restricted gift, the courts will try to identify those charitable assets that are restricted in such a manner that they …

Who's Your Daddy?: Challenging The Application Of The Best Interest Of The Child Standard To Adults And In The Context Of An Intestate Estate, Tyler E. Heffron
Who's Your Daddy?: Challenging The Application Of The Best Interest Of The Child Standard To Adults And In The Context Of An Intestate Estate, Tyler E. Heffron
ExpressO
This article includes a discussion of (1) whether the best interest of the child standard should apply to an adult, (2) whether the best interest of the child standard should apply in the context of an intestate estate, and (3) whether the Kansas Probate Code should defer heirship challenges to the Kansas Parentage Act. The article, following case law from New Mexico and statutes from Georgia, concludes that the best interest of the child standard should not apply to an adult or in the context of an intestate estate. The article proposes an amendment to the Kansas Probate Code.

Modification And Termination Of Irrevocable Trusts Under The Ohio Uniform Trust Code, Alan Newman, Jamie R. Minor
Modification And Termination Of Irrevocable Trusts Under The Ohio Uniform Trust Code, Alan Newman, Jamie R. Minor
Akron Law Faculty Publications
The adoption of the Ohio Uniform Trust Code (the “OUTC” or “the Code”) will constitute a comprehensive codification of trust law in Ohio. Among the many subjects it covers are the modification and termination of trusts. As noted in a comment to the national Uniform Trust Code (the “UTC”), “the overall objective of these [modification and termination] sections is to enhance flexibility consistent with the principle that preserving the settlor’s intent is paramount.” Given such factors as the increased use of trusts in recent years (including trusts created by non-lawyers and lawyers who do not specialize in estate planning); the …

Spendthrift and Discretionary Trusts: Alive and Well under the Uniform Trust Code
Among the provisions of the Uniform Trust Code (“UTC” or the “Code”) that have attracted the most attention are those of Article 5: Creditor’s Claims; Spendthrift and Discretionary Trusts. Although much of the UTC is a codification of the common law of trusts, there are many differences among the states in their handling of various creditors’ rights issues, and many jurisdictions have no law on some of those issues. As a result, there is no well-accepted, established common law on some of the issues addressed by Article 5. …
September 11 Relief Efforts And Surviving Same-Sex Partners: Reflections On Relationships In The Absence Of Legal Recognition, Nancy J. Knauer
September 11 Relief Efforts And Surviving Same-Sex Partners: Reflections On Relationships In The Absence Of Legal Recognition, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
The criteria established by federal, state, and private relief efforts to assist the families of the victims of the September 11 attacks present a unique opportunity to examine the status of same-sex relationships in the United States. In the absence of uniform relationship recognition, surviving same-sex partners continue to struggle with a loss that legally is not cognizable. The stories from the September 11 survivors illustrate that a surviving partner is a legal stranger, who often must reconfigure her relationship with her partner to fit within the various legal categories where relief or compensation might be forthcoming. These legal categories …
