Decedents' Estates, Trusts and Future Interests

The subject matter will be discussed under three headings: "Dece- dents' Estates," "Trusts," and "Future Interests." The section on Decedents' Estates will include developments concerning intestate succession, wills and those problems of fiduciary administration involved in the settlement of decedents' estates; the fiduciary administration problems involving trusts will also be discussed in that section. The developments of the year include court decisions, new legislation, and the work of the Section on Real Property, Probate and Trust Law of the Tennessee Bar Association on proposed legislation.
