Multi-State Practice
The Multi-State Practice Committee
focuses its efforts on a wide array of projects and issues relating to
trusts and estates practice. Past projects have included a review of
relevant law and recommended legislation regarding (I) revocation of
non-probate transfers by divorce, (ii) anti-lapse of life insurance
policies, retirement plans, and accounts with payable-on-death
designations, and (iii) the slayer statute. In the near future, the Committee intends to
concentrate more directly on issues relating to practice across State
lines, such as the differences in practice among States, traps for the
unwary New York lawyer dealing with an ancillary probate, forum
shopping, and state requirements for important estate planning documents
such as living wills and health care proxies.
