However I agree that there is plenty of room for improvement and modernization of estate law. It is, after all, law that was made for the most part, more than 100 years ago. The legislators are already beginning to integrate new laws that contemplate new and unusual forms of families.

People will be sniping and back-stabbing each other mercilessly (even more than they already do in estate law) to prove that they were better kids or better parents or better whatevers to the person who died. <br /><br />You're right Lynne Butler, BA LLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790353197833765108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436024129575354145.post-73854500313030730592018-07-07T13:19:28.572-07:002018-07-07T13:19:28.572-07:00without knowing the background..ie did mom alienat...without knowing the background..ie did mom alienate the boy from his father, was there external pressure put on this boy so the stepfather would not resent the boy or his mother...and who decided he was abandoned..his mom..step dad or himself. would have been east to solve if he really resented bio dad by leaving him $100 or some token amount so the courts would be clear on his intentions.

Even those who are the most advanced don't, to my knowledge, address the issue of the RIGHT of parents to inherit regardless of the relationship. In many ways the law reflects the way society supposedly looked 50 or 100 years ago and doesn't help contemporary families.<br /><br />The law is constantly changing and Lynne Butler, BA LLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790353197833765108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436024129575354145.post-29443201780148201982018-05-18T11:27:06.437-07:002018-05-18T11:27:06.437-07:00Interesting article.

It is also why I am attempting to have the law changed for those with intellectual disabilities and they can have their assets protected upon death.
