Abstract

The article discusses various recent legal cases and developments related to inheritance rights, malpractice, and estate planning. Key rulings include the affirmation that probate remedies must be exhausted before claiming intentional interference with inheritance rights, and the reaffirmation of strict privity in malpractice suits against drafting attorneys in Maryland. Additionally, the article highlights significant decisions regarding no-contest clauses, powers of appointment in divorce proceedings, and the treatment of omitted children in wills. It also addresses broader issues such as the implications of pay-to-stay statutes on inherited property and the evolving understanding of undue influence in estate law. [Extracted from the article]
