The Scope Of Texas Probate Jurisdiction Over Matters Incident And Appertaining To An Estate., Paula C. Tredeau Jun 1905

The Scope Of Texas Probate Jurisdiction Over Matters Incident And Appertaining To An Estate., Paula C. Tredeau

St. Mary's Law Journal

Providing for probate court jurisdiction to accommodate all types of probate issues would lead to a more efficient probate system in terms of cost, time, and judicial economy. However, the constitutional and statutory constraints establish serious limits on probate jurisdiction.

St. Mary's Law Journal

Instead of continuing down the path of confusing, contradictory, and inconsistent nonestablishment clause decisions, the Court should opt for a new approach—benign neutrality.

Instead, the Framers pursued religious freedom instead of complete separation in order to partially avoid usurpation by …
