MEE - Execution of a Will

Keep your head on a swivel.


Today we're dipping our toes into Wills & Estates with a module on the Execution of a Will.

You can find it in the MEE Course!

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.


You'll learn:
- The core differences between the UPC and common law
- The requirements for valid execution, including witnesses, publication, and handwriting
- Why insane delusions can ruin a will
- How states treat interested witnesses and whether someone gets purged
- What the hell counts as a holographic will and why the bar exam is obsessed with tricking you on it

We're also breaking down:
Integration - when all the pages in a will count, even if someone rearranged them
Incorporation by reference - how to legally pull in a separate memo that says who gets the kayak
- And a few mnemonics you’ll never forget, including PIE and IED

This topic is frequently on the MEE. It's not too hard, but you have to know your stuff. 

Let's keep the momentum going!
