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.

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session of the General Assembly enacted legislation dealing with wills, trusts, and estates that added, amended, or repealed a number of sections of the Code of Virginia (the Code).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.
