Boston Bar Association

The spousal elective share statute proposed by the Ad Hoc Committee on the Spousal Elective Share is being considered for approval by the BBA.  To ensure that all interested Trusts & Estates Section members have an opportunity to consider and comment on the proposal, the Section is holding one more open discussion on January 30, 2013 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Members of the Ad Hoc Committee and members of the Trusts & Estates Section Steering Committee will be in attendance, and a short overview of the proposed statute will be provided before the discussion is opened up to participants.  Please note that this will be the final forum at the BBA for discussion of the proposed statute before the Trusts & Estates Section provides its recommendation to the BBA’s Executive Committee and Council.  To facilitate the discussion, we recommend participants review the Ad Hoc Committee's report here in advance of the program.
