Decedents' Estates, Trusts And Future Interests, Herman L. Trautman

Vanderbilt Law Review

The subject matter will be discussed under three headings: "Dece- dents' Estates," "Trusts," and "Future Interests."

Wills, Trusts And Estates--1956 Tennessee Survey, W. J. Bowe Aug 1956

Wills, Trusts And Estates--1956 Tennessee Survey, W. J. Bowe

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Tennessee statute creates a rebuttable presumption that any transfer or conveyance of property to a child shall be treated as an advancement. The above evidence would seem adequate to rebut the presumption but the court went further and stated that, without regard to this evidence, the transfer was not to be so treated since an advancement must be irrevocable and in presentae. Query, if this language may not be misleading and cause confusion in later cases. American case law does not require that an advancement be irrevocable. Thus the proceeds of a life insurance policy, though the decedent retained …

Vanderbilt Law Review

Thus gifts in violation of the rule against perpetuities, against accumulations or against restraints on alienations are void. Further, the courts will strike down capricious or whimsical bequests, as well as those which are conditioned upon the performance of illegal or tortious acts. But in absence of any violation of public policy a testator is free …

Tax Planning For Nontaxable Estates, William J. Bowe Jun 1952

Tax Planning For Nontaxable Estates, William J. Bowe

Vanderbilt Law Review

Owners of modest estates are always greatly relieved to learn of the liberal federal estate tax exemption of $60,000. Freed from the burden of federal estate tax planning they frequently turn their attention to methods of transferring property which will avoid the heavy cost and delay incident to probate administration. Joint ownership, gifts of remainder interests, donee-beneficiary contracts, revocable trusts are among the more common devices available. Use of any one of these plans may accomplish a shift in possession and enjoyment of property upon the death of the planner with no delay and minimum expense.

But the income tax …
