New No-Contest Clause for Trust and Will

No-Contest clauses are probably the biggest single obstacle to estate and trust litigation. We have updated our No-Contest clauses, traditionally found in our Wills and Trusts. The new language reflects the January 1, 2001, and 2003 requirement that certain actions under the No-Contest clause must be expressly identified to trigger the clause. Furthermore, the new No Contest Clause covers the entire scope of the Trustor's Estate Plan, which includes Trustor's will and codicils thereto; the Declaration of Trust and all amendments thereto; the Trustor's Prenuptial Agreement, if any; the Trustor's Advanced Health Care Directive; the Trustor's Durable Financial Power of Attorney; and the Trustor's actions to procure Medi-Cal.
