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A. PORTER** I. INTRODUCTION The law of Wisconsin is well settled that once a will has been validly executed and has not been revoked, it may be admitted to probate even though the original copy of the will cannot be located at the death of the testator.1 Wisconsin Statutes section 856.17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 will may be the most vital piece of your estate plan, even if your estate is a modest one. It is a legal document that lets you direct how your property will be dispersed (among other things) when you die. It becomes effective only after your death. It also allows you to nominate an estate executor as the legal representative who carries out your wishes. In addition, in many states, your will is the only legal way you can name a guardian for your minor children. Without a will, your property will be distributed according to the intestacy laws of your state. The laws of your state also govern the validity of a will. What are the requirements? Requirements vary from state to state. Generally, for your will to be valid, the following requirements must be satisfied. You must be 18 and of sound mind Generally, you must be 18 years of age to execute a will, although some states have a different minimum age requirement. You also must be of sound mind. That means that you must have testamentary capacity--that you know and understand what property you own, its nature, who would inherit it, and the plan for disposition outlined in the will. You must also be free of undue influence or fraud at the time the will is drafted.

The Elective Share Terry L. Turnipseed I. INTRODUCTION There is certainly no doubt that community property has its faults. But, as with any flawed thing, one must look at it in comparison with the alternatives: separate property and its companion, the elective share. This Article argues that the elective share is so flawed that it should be jettisoned in favor of community property.' The elective share can trace its ancestry to dower and curtesy, with the concept of dower dating to ancient times.2 In old England, a widowed woman was given a life estate in one-third of certain of her husband's real property-property in which the husband held an inheritable or devisable interest during the marriage.3 Once dower attached to a parcel of land at the inception of the marriage, the husband could not unilaterally terminate it by transferring the land.4 The right would spring to life upon the husband's death unless the wife had also consented to the transfer by signing the deed, even if title were held in only the husband's name.5 Copyright 2011, by TERRY L.

CAHN MACRO V3.DOCX (DRAFT) (DO NOT DELETE) 6/2/2020 4:37 PM What’s Wrong About the Elective Share “Right”? Naomi Cahn* This Article examines one form of property rights available to a surviving spouse, the elective share. The elective share serves as an override to a testator’s stated intent by allowing the surviving spouse to choose to take a portion of the decedent’s estate — even if the will explicitly disinherits the surviving spouse. The Article analyzes a recent five-year period of state cases raising elective share issues with the goal of determining the circumstances under which an elective share is most likely to be contested. The reported elective share disputes typically involve a subsequent spouse challenging a will that leaves property to an earlier family. The petitioners are almost invariably women. The length of the marriage ranges from a few months to decades, and some of the cases involve waiver of the share, some involve estranged spouses, and a few involve marriage fraud.

  • Report of the Elective Share Work Group HB 3077
    Elective Share Work Group ELECTIVE SHARE HB 3077 Prepared by Samuel E. Sears Staff Attorney and Ben Stewart Law Clerk Updated by Susan N. Gary Work Group Member From the Offices of the Executive Director Jeffrey C. Dobbins and Deputy Director and General Counsel Wendy J. Johnson Approved by the Oregon Law Commission at its Meeting on February 11, 2009* * Amended to reflect amendments made to the bill after further discussions with the Estate Planning Section of the Oregon State Bar. I. Introductory Summary Oregon’s elective share statute provides that a surviving spouse is entitled to 25% of the net probate estate of a deceased spouse regardless of the provisions of the deceased spouse’s will. The purpose of elective share statutes is to protect a surviving spouse from disinheritance by his or her decedent spouse. There are two primary justifications for this rule: 1) both spouses contribute to the acquisition of wealth during marriage and both should receive an equal portion of the couple’s marital assets (partnership theory); and 2) the surviving spouse should be provided some measure of support (support theory). In contrast with the elective share, a spouse who seeks a divorce in Oregon is entitled to an equitable distribution of the couple’s assets, usually roughly 50% of those assets. Thus, a spouse who files for divorce typically receives substantially more than a spouse who opts to take the elective share. Not only is the percentage higher, but in addition, the elective share statute applies only to the probate estate,1 so it can easily be avoided through nonprobate transfers, such as revocable trusts.

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.

  • Ademption by Extinction: Smiting Lord Thurlow's Ghost
    ADEMPTION BY EXTINCTION: SMITING LORD THURLOW'S GHOST John C. Paulus* INTRODUCTION Testator (T)properly executes a will giving his farm, Blackacre, to his daughter (D), and the rest of his property to his son (S). T lives with D on Blackacre. Three years later T sells Blackacre and buys Whiteacre. T and D live together on Whiteacre until T's death four years later. From numerous utterances and acts it is very evident that T wants D to have Whiteacre for her own after his death. Will Whiteacre go to D or S? In most (maybe all) of the states, the answer would be, "S." The identity rule enunciated by Lord Thurlow in 1786 is followed.' As indicated by its application to T, D, and S, the dominating philosophy can bring forth some unsatisfactory results. Lord Thurlow's opinion calls for the application of a simple test in determining whether or not a specific devise adeems: If the asset identified as the exclusive subject of the devise is not held by the testator at his death, the devise fails.' Ademption by extinction, as this problem area is uniformly called, is reduced to a matter of identifying, if possible, the devised item in the estate.' The most often quoted statement by Lord Thurlow is: "And I do * Professor of Law, Willamette University. Visiting Professor of Law, Texas Tech University 1970-71. 1. Ashburner v. Macguire, 29 Eng.

  • Types of Wills Alexandra Gadzo (Palo Alto, California)
    CHAPTER 10 Types of Wills ALEXANDRA GADZO (Palo Alto, Calforna) will is used to designate how, when, and to whom your assets will pass at your death. In addition to Anaming an Executor or Executrix (sometimes called a Personal Representative) to collect and distribute your assets, your will is the document in which you name guardians for your minor children. If you have a living trust, a pour over will is generally used so that at your death, the will “pours” any assets not in your living trust into the trust so the assets can be distributed according to the trust’s terms. There may or may not need to be a probate first depending on the amount of the assets. REQUIREMENTS OF A WILL You can draft a typewritten will or have an attorney draft a will for you. In California, the requirements for a will to be legally effective are as follows: • the testator must be 18 years or older; • the testator must be of sound mind; • the document must state that it is a will; • it must be type-written or created and printed using a computer; • you need to appoint at least one executor; • the will must provide for the disposition of your assets; • the will must be signed and have a date of execution; and • two witnesses who are at least 18 years of age must be present when the testator signs the will. These witnesses must also be of sound mind and understand they are witnesses for your will. The witnesses may not be beneficiaries of the will, and the witnesses must see the testator and the other witness sign your will.

The result would be effected only if costs consumed the corpus of the residuary legatee's portion or if such legatee was bankrupt. The banking commission seems to have been fully satisfied on this score and hence its resolve to bring the action only against the residuary legatee is perfectly intel- ligible. Just why the court should not be satisfied with this arrange- ment which would do complete justice between the parties and save expense and trouble is difficult to understand in view of the two other cases above mentioned in which the liability was enforced against dis- tributees. In all three cases all that really happened was that property of the deceased stockholder came to the legatee subject to a lien for the superadded liability.
