All shared gifts must be sold, and the net proceeds distributed as the will directs, unless all beneficiaries for that gift agree in writing, after my death, that the gift need not be sold. If I name two or more primary beneficiaries to receive a specific gift of property and any of them do not survive me, all surviving primary beneficiaries shall equally divide the deceased primary beneficiary's share unless I have specifically provided otherwise. If I name two or more alternate beneficiaries to receive a specific gift of property and any of them do not survive me, all surviving alternate beneficiaries shall equally divide the deceased alternate beneficiary's

Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier of 1987-1988 Background: At Hazel East High School, the school has a sponsored newspaper called “The Spectrum” that is written and edited by the students. In May of 1983, the high school principal, Robert E. Reynolds, received the edited version of the May 13th edition. Upon inspecting the paper, he found two articles that he found “inappropriate.” The two articles contained stories about divorce and teen pregnancy. An article on divorce featured a student who blamed her father’s actions for her parents’ divorce.
Procedural History: Claim was filed against decedent 's (Jack Tallas) estate to recover on written agreement to make the claimant (Peter Dementas) an heir for the amount of $50,000. The Third District Court of Salt Lake County held in favor for the estate. Dementas challenged the initial verdict in Utah’s Court of Appeals, Orme, J.. In this appeal, the court held that agreement was not an enforceable contract in that it constituted a promise for past services performed gratuitously.

People should value other things, besides money and their estate. Everyone should show more love and attention to the members of their family, because nothing can be compared to the importance of the family to any person in the world. It is unfortunate that in many cases, people realize how important their family is after they lose one or more of their relatives.
...ovides for equality in sharing whatever assets are left after all the discounting which although may be little is surely beneficial to those receiving and is surely better than nothing.

The court case of State of Nebraska v. Gary E. Heitman deals with the conviction of Heitman on charges of criminal conspiracy to commit first degree sexual assault on a minor. “Heitman contends that the evidence was insufficient to convict and that he was entrapped” (Heitman p.1) while the court concluded that “there was sufficient evidence to support the conviction” (Heitman p.1) and “further determined that the district court was not clearly wrong in finding that Heitman was predisposed to commit the crime and that thus, the district court was correct in rejecting his entrapment defense.” (Heitman p.1). I agree with the courts rejection of the entrapment defense based upon things discussed in other entrapment cases and ideas brought up by

The third paragraph contains three separate powers of appointment. The first power of appointment is granted by Roosevelt when he request that his executors “collect and receive the rents, profits, interest and income, and apply them to the use of my wife, Edith Kermit Roosevelt, during her life.” Roosevelt, the donor, is giving a power of appointment to his executors (his wife and two sons – who are donees) that require them to use the income generated to provide for his wife.
Estate planning is the process of managing and parceling out an estate to reduce the taxes owed and to transfer assets to beneficiaries after someone dies. The goal being that all of your financial wishes are met upon your death and are not determined by a court.
In order to fully understand the positions taken by those in favor of the estate tax, and those opposed, it is important to analyze the generality of the tax, as well as the details within it that have been contended over time. Some of the main aspects of the estate tax are taxability, deductions, and exemptions. These aspects are of importance in the context of the ongoing debate, as they most directly educate the tax to those transferring their estate at the time of death.
In a will, you can ease the burden on your grieving survivors by planning your funeral arrangements; determine how your property will be distributed; determine how your debts will be paid; and especially those with minor children: if you and your spouse should die before your children grow up, you can nominate personal guardians for them and their property. Otherwise, a court will appoint a guardian without your input, and the court appointed guardian will decide where your children will live, educated, and worship, until they become of legal age.
If you fail to plan properly, it can add to unnecessary costs and hassles to the survivors and the estate. For example, if you have a bank account only in your name and in the event of your death, your partner or your family members cannot simply walk into a bank and claim the money. The bank has its own rules and will only allow access to the account to the rightful person as clearly specified by the account holder in their will. If there is no will, then the matter is sent to the bank lawyers and a probate is ordered. All this costs a lot of money and in the end, your survivor(s) may get some of the money but the costs of probate can be enormous. It is thus important to speak to an LGBT estate planning lawyer so that you can avoid such complications and hassles for your spouse and
