Disqualified Beneficiaries

Are there any exceptions to this?

Yes. The most important exception is that these presumptions do not apply to beneficiaries who are related within the fifth degree to the donor, the person who executed the will or trust. Gifts of $3,000.00 or less are also excepted.

“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.”
