[WSBAPT] No Contest

[Philip N. Jones]

I do not use them unless the client specifically asks for one, or I think there is a special reason to use one.
You might want to draft your no-contest clause to disinherit the contestant AND his or her issue.
An of course, a no contest clause does no good if the beneficiary has been disinherited.

Hello

Just curious who out there regularly uses no contest or selectively uses them.  When using them, do you have any qualifiers in your standard language?  Would love to see some clauses if any one is willing to share.

Thanks in advance.
