No problem Jacob. You're welcome and good luck! Work through each question carefully and do your best not to rush. You've spent years preparing to take the test. You know the material. Take your time. You will have time to answer each question.
same I literally watched an entire lecture in my bar prep course and was beyond confused and this video cleared it up so easily!! Bar exam is in two weeks - yay!!!
3L with a Wills, Trusts, and Estates final exam on Friday. THANK YOU for the best explanation I've come across -- bookmarking for a refresher before the July bar!
Like a number of other people said I'm studying for the bar and this is the first time everything made sense!! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work and good luck😊
Hello Andrew! (great name by the way) Thank you and good luck in your studies! It's a tough road but getting through it means you can write your own ticket careerwise.
What if there was no will. Just a trust that was made when deceased was no longer competent? Would the predeceased child's share be split by his kids(the grandchildren?) California
If I'm understanding your situation correctily, we have no Last Will and Testament but a Trust that was created when someone my not have had capacity to create the Trust begin with. IF the decedent did NOT have testamentary capcity to create the trust, then there would need to be some showing that this was the case, thus invalidating the trust and it's distributive provisions. Otherwise, the distribution set out in the trust would be the distribution for the trust estate. If the trust were declared void or invalid by a court, then the estate would fall into a typical probate and be distributed pursuant to the laws of intestate succession - Per Stirpes/Right of Representation. This would be assuming there was no valid Will laying out another specific distribution plan.
Explained it better than my Wills & Trusts professor! A+
Thank you very much. I very much appreciate the compliment!
I'm taking the Bar exam next week and this is the first time I've actually been able to visualize this concept. Thanks.

Thank you. I was trying to make sense of it in the notes by a lecturer and it was not gelling at all! I get it now!

I dont undestand how you go from 1/3 to 1/9. How did you make that big jump from 3 to 9?

The best coverage of the topic. Are these terms interpreted this way in California?
Thank you! Yes, the California Probate Code upholds the same interpretation of these phrases as outlined in the video.
What if I want Cara and Rus to get half each since Susan died (not the kids)? What is this called?
Well now I'm going to make everything per capita at each generation just for teh lulz 😁
Check this, look at his first chart title. Double check this against actual law.
Hello! Was there an error on the chart or within the video itself?
