CARLSBAD, Calif., June 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new
California Appellate Case may spell disaster for people defending
their inheritances. Attorneys Stewart
Albertson and Keith A.
Davidson will discuss this ground-breaking case in their
next episode of the Albertson & Davidson, LLP, live stream
series Stand, Fight, Win Live Stream- Real Lawyers, Real
Answers.
The episode will review the Key v. Tyler appellate case in which
a defendant's judicial defense of an amendment to a Trust that was
found to have been obtained "through undue influence" met the
Trust's criteria for a contest that "triggered the no contest
clause."1
"Many California trusts use a no-contest clause provision that
will cause a beneficiary to be disinherited if they challenge the
validity of the trust document in court," says attorney
Stewart Albertson. "Prior to Key v.
Tyler, trust lawyers assumed that defending a trust contest would
not trigger a no-contest clause. Now that has changed."
Albertson explained that beneficiaries defending a no-contest
clause can be considered violating the clause which can lead to the
forfeiture of their inheritance.
"This is a ground-breaking case for everyone fighting over a
family inheritance," says attorney Keith A.
Davidson. "Now every party to a trust contest lawsuit has
something to potentially lose. It's a real game-changer and may
result in far more people being disinherited than ever before."
The "No-Contest" episode of Stand, Fight, Win! will stream live
on Facebook and YouTube on Friday, June 14,
2019. Viewers can watch live or view the recorded video from
the firm's Facebook page or YouTube channel. A podcast version of
all episodes is available from Podbean.
