Abstract
- The article examines the issues behind the integration of 'no contest clauses' in estate planning. Topics include the primacy of testamentary freedom as reason for the enforcement of said clauses in wills and other estate planning documents, how California testators and their lawyers allegedly overuse the 'no contest' provisions, and the use of sticky default rules to avoid issues emanating from testators' intent in boilerplate no contest clauses.
