5 ADDITIONAL EXERCISE 2 Review the will of Elvis Presley in the Appendix. What would you have done to improve the order of the will? How would your suggestions have improved the order of the will?
6 ADDITIONAL EXERCISE 3 The following introduction of a will has been given to you for review. Do you have any suggestions for improvement? LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF I. AM VERBOSE KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN. I, I. AM VERBOSE, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and not being satisfied with the laws of the State of Exhaustion to dispose of my estate, hereby make, publish, and declare this document as and for my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, and hereby revoke all wills and codicils by me at any time heretofore made. For the purpose of this assignment, you may wish to read Thomas L. Shaffer, Carol Ann Mooney and Amy Jo Boettcher, The Planning and Drafting of Wills and Trusts Chapters 8 and 9 (5 th ed. 2007).
7 ADDITIONAL EXERCISE 4 The following clauses have been drafted for inclusion in the Will form of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, of which you are an associate. Garnish Parsley, the Senior Partner of the firm, has sent them to you with a memo asking if you think any of the clauses should be translated into English so the clients will better understand them. Give Mr. Parsley your opinion and, if required, your redrafting of the clause. If you believe anything else needs to be covered by the clause, add the appropriate language. You may assume the answers to any questions which you believe are not covered and should be. CLAUSE 1 Unless the contrary is expressly stated, any devise or bequest to a person or a member of a class of persons who shall predecease me shall lapse, each future interest shall be contingent upon survivorship at the time such interest vests in possession, all distributions or divisions to or among descendants or issue shall be made per stirpes and not per capita, and the sole member of a class or group shall take the whole gift if alone surviving. CLAUSE 2 My Trustee shall be free to exercise liberally any power to make discretionary payments of principal or income and shall not be restrained by the interests of persons other than the person to whom a given payment is to be made. In exercising said discretion, however, my Trustee(s) shall consider the income of said person and, in so doing, may rely upon any statement of income furnished by or on behalf of that person. The decision of my Trustee(s) as to the purpose, time and amount of any such payment shall be conclusive upon all beneficiaries of this my will.
8 CLASS PARTICIPATION Class participation will constitute 25% of the grade in this course. The grades will be based on the following factors: 1. A student s performance in suggesting language and comments for improvement in the drafting exercises worked on in class. 2. Submitting for examination by the class a clause as a starting point for the drafting exercises. For each drafting exercise listed on the syllabus (subject to a number of exceptions) to be done in class, one student should volunteer to submit to me a draft of the clause asked for by the exercise. Since there are more students than exercises, the student chosen to submit an exercise (except Additional Exercises 1 4) will be done by voluntary sign up. My administrative assistant, Ms. Rosalena Thompson, will have a list to sign up for the exercises. A student should sign up for one and only one exercise. The draft must be turned in to me by 3:00 p.m. on the Tuesday preceding the first week the chapter containing that exercise is scheduled in the syllabus. I will then disseminate the draft so the students can review it prior to class. These clauses will not be graded, except that they will count toward class participation. A good faith effort to draft an effective clause will be rewarded.
9 EXERCISES TO BE HANDED IN Each student in the class will complete and hand in his or her answer to each of the following drafting exercises: Drafting Exercise Number Page The exercises are due at 4:00 p.m. on the due date (to be announced in class). They may be given to Ms. Rosalena Thompson in Room 475 or, in her absence, placed in my mailbox in Room 467. I will make a good faith attempt to return the first exercise with comments prior to the due date of the second exercise, and so likewise with the second exercise. Students should use examination numbers rather than names on all exercises.
