July 8, 2009

Actually, as I've learned from my Trusts and Estate class last semester, the two requirements for a maker of a will under Section 3-1.1 of the New York Estates, Powers, and Trusts Law are for the individual to be over 18 years of age and to be of sound mind and memory. While it seems that Loretta is just using the language of the New York Estates Laws as a quick opportunity to once again belittle Leroy, she is also likely contemplating how to challenge the testamentary capacity of Leroy after he dies and leaves her nothing in his will. While we established at a prior trip to the lawyer's that despite everything she is still entitled to half; but if she can get his will revoked then she may be able to inherit everything (since they have no children) under intestacy. Pretty sneaky, Loretta. You get the point.

Official Count:
Leroy - 56
Loretta - 68
Push - 65

  1. Question: What section of the New York Estates, Powers, and Trusts Law refers to a will being printed on a green placard with "WILL" printed along its top in gigantic capital letters?

  2. There's no specific statute against ridiculous wills, but it certainly won't help his sound mind argument.
