LOST WILLS: THE WISCONSIN LAW ROBERT C. BURRELL* and JACK A. PORTER** I. INTRODUCTION The law of Wisconsin is well settled that once a will has been validly executed and has not been revoked, it may be admitted to probate even though the original copy of the will cannot be located at the death of the testator.1 Wisconsin Statutes section 856.17 provides as follows: Lost will, how proved. Whenever any will is lost, de- stroyed by accident or destroyed without the testator's con- sent the probate court has power to take proof of the execu- tion and validity of the will and to establish the same. The petition for the probate of the will shall set forth the provi- 2 sions thereof. Therefore, where the testator had a will which was valid at the time of execution but which cannot be located upon the death of the testator, the statute, in effect, prescribes the procedure for establishing that the will has not been subsequently re- voked by the testator.

  • A Simple, Effective Will
    Pace Law School Continuing Legal Education Bridge the Gap: December 6-7, 2014 A SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE WILL Daniel Timins. Esq. [email protected] 450 7th Avenue, Suite 1500 New York, New York 10123 (212) 683-3560 Telephone Number www.timinslaw.com Daniel A. Timins, Esq. Law Offices of Daniel Timins FOREWORD It is sometimes mind-numbing to see the absurd depth that attorneys will sink to when drafting legal documents: Details, definition sections, contingency upon contingency upon contingency. Yet, in the end, the artful litigator will still find a sufficient number of loopholes and arguments in any document, no matter how solid the drafter intended it to be. The statement “simple is better” when it comes to legal documents may be true, and perhaps equally so when it comes to the central estate planning document: A Last Will and Testament. There are many two page “Sweetheart Wills” drafted by laymen which are admitted to Probate with little problem. On the reverse side, there are a near-unlimited number of Court proceedings based on multiple page Wills drafted by the most skilled attorneys that languish in the Surrogate’s Court for years. And, of course, the inverse is equally true for both parties. The “Plain English” trend in legal writing should be observed with modern Wills even more so than other legal documents: The Will should be drafted in a way that allows the client to understand what legal concepts are being conveyed. To do otherwise may have the negative effects of not fulfilling the Testator’s desires, and may open the Will up to the protracted legal intervention that the drafter was hoping so hard to avoid.

Admitting that prisoner recoveries might be prejudiced to some extent by variations in state law, the Court regarded no recovery at all as a more serious prejudice to the prisoner's rights.55 In this connection, it is interesting to consider the desirability of spreading tort liability in the governmental area.5" The impact of the principal case is, in some respects, clear.

  • The Personal Representative's Power to Sell Realty in Virginia

Rev. 949 (1974), https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr/vol15/iss4/8 Copyright c 1974 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr COMMENT THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE'S POWER TO SELL REALTY IN VIRGINIA At common law, tide to personal property passed to an executor or administrator upon the death of the owner, while tide to realty vested immediately in the decedent's heirs or devisees.' During the period of administration, the personal representative's control over personalty was, and under present law remains, analogous to that of a trustee, there being few restrictions upon the power to dispose of the property for the benefit of the estate. With respect to realty, however, a personal representative at common law had neither tide nor power to sell. Two general exceptions to the common law rules have evolved to expand the personal representative's power ovex realty. First, realty may be subjected by statute to the payment of debts of the estate when the personalty is insufficient for that purpose. Second, and more sig- nificantly, an executor may sell realty when vested with such power by the will.3 This Comment will examine the development and present status in Virginia of these exceptions to the general rule against sale 'of realty by a personal representative and will suggest statutory reforms designed to bring Virginia law more in line with that in other jurisdic- tions in reflecting modem conditions.

  • The Intestate Claims of Heirs Excluded by Will: Should "Negative Wills" Be Enforced?
    The Intestate Claims of Heirs Excluded by Will: Should "Negative Wills" Be Enforced? When a testator's will fails to provide for the disposition of his entire estate, the portion of the estate that is not disposed of usu- ally passes to the testator's heirs under the intestacy laws.' These laws reflect a presumption about what the testator would have wanted had he considered the matter.2 In some cases, however, the testator may have expressed a contrary intent. For example, a will may expressly disinherit an heir and leave the estate to someone else; or it may leave a small sum "and no more" to an heir, while giving the bulk of the estate to someone else; or a "will" may con- tain no devise at all, but express a desire that an heir receive no part of the estate.3 If the will does not fully dispose of the testa- tor's property and some or all of his estate must pass by intestacy, an issue arises as to whether the intestacy statute requires the ex- cluded heir to receive an intestate share, contrary to the testator's intent. This comment discusses the circumstances in which a will that expressly disinherits an heir or limits the heir's gift to the devise in the will (a "negative will") may foreclose the award of an intestate share to that heir where some or all of the testator's estate passes by intestacy. Since the mid-nineteenth century, English courts have enforced negative wills where (1) the testator clearly intended to exclude an heir or to limit an heir's share in the estate to the devise in the will, and (2) at least one other heir remains eligible to take the property that passes by intestacy.4 Under this approach, the exclusion of the heir (or limitation of the heir's gift) in the will See, e.g., UNIF.

    THE NEW YORK PROBATE PROCESS – PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE BASICS “In Part I of this series we will discuss how a Personal Representative is appointed and take a broad look at what the position entails. In Part II, we will look as the steps you should take after being appointed the PR of an estate.” SAUL KOBRICK & ANTHONY MOCCIA NEW YORK ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS SERVING NASSAU COUNTY, SUFFOLK COUNTY, AND WESTCHESTER COUNTY The death of a family member or loved one typically ushers in a period of heightened emotions and uncertainty for those impacted by the death. Regardless of how far in advance you are notified that death was inevitable, “preparing” to lose someone close to you is simply not really possible. As a result, a good deal of confusion also tends to follow a death. Adding to that confusion is the knowledge that someone must handle the legal ramifications of the decedent’s death. If a Last Will and Testament was executed by the decedent prior to death the individual appointed as Executor in the Will shall be responsible for overseeing the probate of the estate left behind by the decedent. If the decedent died intestate or without leaving behind a valid Will, the probate court will need to appoint someone to be the Personal Representative of the estate.
