Decedents sometimes leave an estate plan that creates more problems than it solves. Under the laws of most states, various judicial and nonjudicial options exist with which to repair estate planning defects after-the-fact. It is important to our practices that we have a comprehensive understanding of the following potential solutions:
Trust modifications, decanting, premature terminations, settlement agreements
Construing or reforming governing instrument language
Beneficiary waivers, releases and consents
Virtual representation
Disclaimers or renunciations
