8 Ways to Avoid Probate

Denise Wiedemann explores the individual and social meanings of housing and their reflection in inheritance and matrimonial property law. She combines insights from social history and social psychology on the changing significance of housing with accounts of legal developments in foreign jurisdictions and contrasts them with key doctrinal choices in German law. Methodologically, the author demonstrates how extra-legal knowledge can do more than merely inform legal policy debates or be supplemented by comparative-law observations; it can also lead to deeper questions about legal doctrine, its underlying structures, and the forces that drive or resist change. Accordingly, the study's findings operate on several levels. The stronger emphasis on individual rather than collective experiences of housing in the process through which insights from social psychology were received and translated into legal policy contributed to the fact that, particularly in German inheritance law, the home was initially not accorded any special significance. From a doctrinal perspective, Denise Wiedemann reconstructs the principles of equal treatment of assets and of the state's neutrality in matters of inheritance as factors explaining the greater resistance of German inheritance law to societal change.

The Essential Guide to Planning Ahead

As Americans grow increasingly mobile, estate planning practitioners routinely encounter clients whose marital property includes community property acquired in one or more states, as well as clients who may benefit from elective community property trust statutes now available in Alaska, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Dakota, and Florida. Because community property generally retains its character even after a couple relocates to a separate property state, estate planners in every jurisdiction must be prepared to identify community property interests and navigate the planning complexities they create. Yet many estate planners practicing in separate property jurisdictions receive limited training on the community property system, its variations across states, and the federal tax consequences that flow from community property characterization. Community Property Law in a Mobile America fills that gap. Written for estate planning attorneys, tax advisors, and trust professionals, this comprehensive guide walks practitioners through the full landscape of community property law as it intersects with estate planning, from foundational principles to advanced planning strategies. The authors trace the historical origins of the common law and civil law traditions that gave rise to today's divergent marital property frameworks before examining the critical differences among the nine traditional community property states and the newer elective community property trust jurisdictions. The book addresses property transmutation, creditor rights, choice-of-law principles for migratory spouses, the Uniform Disposition of Community Property Rights at Death Act, and the federal tax treatment of community property, including a thorough analysis of whether the elective community property trust statutes in opt-in jurisdictions should afford users the double step-up in basis under § 1014(b)(6), along with the legislative history of the Revenue Act of 1948 that informs that question. Practical guidance throughout the text covers coordinating joint revocable trusts, preparing Form 706 for estates that include community property, characterizing life insurance and retirement plan assets, and avoiding common pitfalls when planning for clients who have moved between states with different marital property regimes. Each chapter emphasizes the state-specific variations that make this area of law both powerful and complex, equipping practitioners to identify key issues, ask the right questions, and collaborate effectively with local counsel across jurisdictions.

J.K. Lasser's New Rules for Estate, Retirement, and Tax Planning

Studien zum ausländischen und internationalen Privatrecht

If a deceased person has multiple heirs, the law has to answer a number of important questions: Who may administer, take possession of and use the deceased's assets and to what extent? Who is liable for the debts left by the deceased and to what extent, and to whom must the deceased's creditors turn? As substantive inheritance law has so far been spared fundamental standardization, European countries answer these questions differently. The German community of heirs was essentially developed from that of Prussian land law. Today, it presents itself as a community of joint heirs in which the co-heirs are generally treated as a collective until the estate is divided. Although the Italian Codice civile of the 19th century goes back to the Code Napoléon, it was also significantly influenced by Austrian law and was reissued in 1942. Today, the comunione ereditaria presents itself as a hybrid form, in which the legal power of the individual heir still extends further than in Austria, but his responsibility for the liabilities of the estate has also increased. On the one hand, this work examines the question as to which historical assessments have given the community of heirs of the German Civil Code and that of the Italian Civil Code their current forms and, on the other hand, sheds light on the currently applicable German and Italian law.

Do I Need A Living Trust?

A Simple Guide To Avoiding Probate, Protecting Your Family & Planning Your Legacy

The Role of Apologies in the Law

If you want to know more about living trusts, this book is here to help. Make Your Living Trust gives you straightforward and easy-to-understand information about how living trusts: <ul> <li>compare to wills</li> <li>pass property to beneficiaries without probate</li> <li>provide for minor children, and</li> <li>help protect against unexpected incapacity.</li> </ul> You might have heard about living trusts and have a general sense that you should make one. But if you're like most people, you're not exactly sure why or how to do it. If this sounds like you, Make Your Living Trust provides the information and support you need to make informed estate planning decisions. For many people, living trusts are a useful tool to keep their property out of probate. This makes a lot of sense because probate often makes the process of wrapping up an estate more complicated and expensive than it needs to be. And there are other reasons to make a living trust -- a living trust allows you to authorize someone to take care of your property in case of incapacity, and (unlike wills) living trusts keep your personal business private. That said, not everyone needs a living trust. Many people need only a will and a durable power of attorney. Others might use those in conjunction with pay-on-death accounts or transfer-on-death deeds. Compared to other estate planning tools, living trusts can be more expensive to create and more complicated to live with. So, you don't want to go through the trouble and expense of making one if you don't need to. Make Your Living Trust helps you think through these and many other trust-related issues. For example, it helps you weigh the pros and cons of making a living trust yourself versus having an attorney draw one up. It also covers questions that might come up as you make a living trust (with or without a lawyer), like: <ul> <li>What types of property work well in a living trust?</li> <li>Can you and your spouse make a living trust together?</li> <li>What is the role of a successor trustee?</li> <li>Who decides when minor children receive their inheritance?</li> <li>How do you transfer property into your living trust?</li> <li>What makes a living trust legal?</li> <li>Where should you store your living trust?</li> <li>Do you have to register your trust or share it with your family?</li> <li>What other estate planning documents might you need?</li> </ul> Make Your Living Trust can help with all of this and more. It will be your steady companion as you learn about wills and trusts and start to craft your estate plan.

Sharing economy promised a way of using property for the mutual benefit of owners and consumers, but in the last decade it has only worked to profit large commercial platforms. This book shows how institutions of risk management are part of this problem and offers a solution: collaborative risk structures. The book uncovers risk as the missing element in accounts of property theory and sharing economy. Drawing on diverse insights from economic theory and legal studies, it explains how property and private law form a risk management infrastructure which reinforces private property, and examines the paralysing effects this has on sharing, by constraining it to extractive market relations and stifling its collaborative potential. The book argues that overcoming these constraints is key to realising collaborative property and curbing the drawbacks of private ownership. It proposes institutional design principles and offers heuristic solutions such as radical uses of private law tools and insurance mechanisms to build a collaborative risk system capable of supporting more equitable and diversified forms of sharing.

This collection explores the nature and justification of mandatory rules (which are non-excludable) and default rules (which can be modified or excluded by the parties) in contract and commercial law. The collection distinguishes between different kinds of mandatory and default rules that govern commercial transactions. It also explores the choice of rule in various situations. Which rules are mandatory, and are there clearly understood and convincing reasons for parties to be denied choice? In the case of default rules, on what basis is the default position selected? The collection also explores the fundamentally important relationship between default rules and interpretation, and, relatedly, between default rules and contractual risk allocation. The collection will be of interest to academics and practitioners working across the field of commercial law.
