Matter Of Will Of Ratcliff And The Not-So-Harmless Error: A Call To Change Mississippi’S Approach To Will Formalities,

Matter Of Will Of Ratcliff And The Not-So-Harmless Error: A Call To Change Mississippi’S Approach To Will Formalities, Kelsi Baldwin
Mississippi College Law Review
A will provides a mechanism to dispose of property at death. But costly litigation—or worse, a will’s invalidation—often thwart this purpose. The law of probate is state-specific, which leaves jurisdictions with the burden of ensuring that their laws promote rather than defeat the purpose of probate—to honor the testator’s intent. Mississippi attempts to recognize this purpose by requiring strict compliance with the statutory requirements for creating a will. This “better safe than sorry” approach errs on the side of invalidity with the hope that denying a non-compliant instrument for probate will prevent fraud and other wrongdoing.
Despite its intention, Mississippi’s …

A Behavioral Economics Analysis Of Will Making Preferences: When To Begin And Who Should Have The Most Input,

A Behavioral Economics Analysis Of Will Making Preferences: When To Begin And Who Should Have The Most Input, Bridget J. Crawford, Tina Cockburn, Kelly Purser, Ho Fai Chan, Uwe Dulleck
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The global COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to plan for death, including the transmission of property through a valid will. Surprisingly little is known, however, about when people tend to make wills, how they go about doing so, and whether those practices vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. To begin building a foundation of knowledge, a research team comprised of United States and Australian lawyers and economists recently conducted the first-ever behavioral economics empirical study exploring these questions. This Article reports the results of the team's survey of both members of the Australian general public and estate planning lawyers in …
Proposing A Model Antilapse Clause,

Proposing A Model Antilapse Clause, Raymond C. O'Brien
ACTEC Law Journal
The complexity of state antilapse statutes exacerbates the task of many estate planners seeking to give prudent expression to the postmortem wishes of a client. These statutes vary as to which predeceasing beneficiaries they should apply, who should be the substitute takers to benefit instead of these lapsed beneficiaries, and how to treat beneficiaries who are treated as predeceasing because of renunciation agreements, final decrees of divorce, or, when the beneficiary kills, exploits, or abuses the one from whom the beneficiary would take. Within the modern statutory framework, there exists an abundant array of testamentary devices by which a transferor …

An Historical And Empirical Analysis Of The Cyprès Doctrine,
2023
Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University
An Historical And Empirical Analysis Of The Cyprès Doctrine, Christopher J. Ryan
ACTEC Law Journal
Cy près is a pivotal doctrine in estate law and indeed American jurisprudence. It places courts in the shoes of settlors of charitable trusts to discern not only their original intent but also affords the possibility of continuing the material purpose for which settlors created enduring legacies of philanthropy benefitting society. For this reason, it may well be that no other legal doctrine is as closely tied to the interests of the individual and the collective as cy près. And my first-of-its kind study puts the cy-près doctrine front and center, while providing three major contributions to the field. First, …

The Islamisation Of The English Trust: The Hibah Trust In Malaysia, Hang Wu Tang
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Malaysia, being a former English colony, inherited a corpus of English law which includes equity and trusts. In recent times, major banks, financial institutions, and trust companies have reimagined the English trust in combination with Islamic law, by offering an innovation called the hibah trust. This instrument represents the Islamisation of the English trust concept where the Islamic idea of the hibah, an inter vivos gift and the English trust is combined as a wealth management offering to clients. This article explores how the hibah trust works, reasons why institutions may be offering this hybrid instrument, and potential challenges to …

Imagine a television infomercial wakes you up from your sleep. While refocusing your vision, you faintly hear the television say: “Are you a disgruntled beneficiary?” You think to yourself, “I’m not disgruntled, but I sure wish I could have more money.” You are slightly intrigued, so you crank up the volume on the television, and the infomercial emphatically states, “Do you believe you are entitled to ‘ill-gotten gains’?” You think to yourself, “I have no idea what ill-gotten gains are.” I just want ownership over the assets I —.”

Until The Cows Come Home: Ancillary Probate Reform Is Needed Across The Country To Better Serve Farmers And Ranchers, Emily K. Daniel
Texas A&M Journal of Property Law
Property law has long established a difference between real and personal property. When an individual dies, if they owned real property in another state, they may be subject to the other state’s probate or estates code. This means that the decedent’s beneficiaries may have to probate the estate again in the secondary state’s courts if the statutes state that is a requirement. This secondary probate proceeding is called ancillary probate. This Article aims to show the negative effects that ancillary probate has on certain people and industries. Specifically, ancillary probate is a problem that negatively affects farmers and ranchers across …

Perpetuities In An Unequal Age,
2023
Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
Perpetuities In An Unequal Age, Jack H.L. Whiteley
Northwestern University Law Review
For centuries, the common law limited aristocratic wealth. In the last three decades, that has changed. One by one, state legislatures have eliminated the rule against perpetuities (the Rule), and now “dynasty trusts” can make carefully controlled payments to a settlor’s descendants for hundreds of years. This change occurred soon before a large and ongoing intergenerational wealth transfer in the United States. Trusts scholars have roundly criticized the Rule’s removal, and some have described it as charting a path to a new Gilded Age.
This Article draws a theoretical lesson from the Rule’s demise. I argue that part of the …
