I think you would need to do a clawback.  See RPC 4.4(b) and the comments thereto.  May not be on point, but it gives you an idea of how to do that.

Annie, 

      Being old school, I think the answer is a clear no, and any attempt would be unethical. I suspect there are ethical opinions on the subject. Having said that, it is getting harder and harder these days to predict what judges would do.

Hi all-

 

I am looking for thoughts? I am trying to advise an estate planning client about the feasibility of carrying out a rather unusual plan for disposition of his remains. He would like his skull to be preserved for his children, as kind of a last vestige of his corporeal existence. His urge to do this sounds strange, but he is a very interesting, kind and smart guy. He does not want to create criminal or other legal problems for anyone who agrees to assist with this plan. I am trying to identify for him the potential legal obstacles to having his skull separated from his body and given to someone to clean and preserve it. (Luckily, he has NOT asked me to help with figuring out who would be willing to carry this plan out for him.)

 

I?ve been looking through the RCWs and while it seems clear that a person has a right to control disposition of their remains (RCW 68.50.160), it remains vague to me the process by which a person could have anything other than autopsy, burial or cremation take place. His skull would not qualify as an anatomical gift, unless it was given for "transplantation, therapy, research, or education.? RCW 68.04.010(3). So it must be human remains. There are all kinds of penalties scattered throughout the section on human remains, for stealing them, for digging them up once buried, etc. 

 

There is one sentence in the RCWs that seems promising? RCW  68.50.100(1) states that ?[t]he right to dissect a dead body shall be limited to cases specially provided by statute or by the direction or will of the deceased.? (Emphasis added.)

 

Does anyone have insight into this situation? Many thanks in advance if you have made it this far! Also, yes, I now know all about Ted Williams. :)

I've only read news articles on this, but apparently Washington now recognizes something call human composting.? I don't think that process contemplates what your client wants, but perhaps at the end of the process what they want would be somehow easier?????

 

Here's one such article.

Dear Sarah:

    The information from Aliza is quite good. I encourage you to use her suggested resource. In addition, there is a very good book out there in paperback, entitled "Stiff, The Curious Life of Human Cadavers", by Mary Roach. It is very insightful, contains some cutting edge ideas on how we treat and manage the  bodies of loved ones after they have died. I recommend the book. 

Yours Truly,

 

Kerry A. Richards, Attorney

Hi all-

 

I am looking for thoughts? I am trying to advise an estate planning client about the feasibility of carrying out a rather unusual plan for disposition of his remains. He would like his skull to be preserved for his children, as kind of a last vestige of his corporeal existence. His urge to do this sounds strange, but he is a very interesting, kind and smart guy. He does not want to create criminal or other legal problems for anyone who agrees to assist with this plan. I am trying to identify for him the potential legal obstacles to having his skull separated from his body and given to someone to clean and preserve it. (Luckily, he has NOT asked me to help with figuring out who would be willing to carry this plan out for him.)

 

I?ve been looking through the RCWs and while it seems clear that a person has a right to control disposition of their remains (RCW 68.50.160), it remains vague to me the process by which a person could have anything other than autopsy, burial or cremation take place. His skull would not qualify as an anatomical gift, unless it was given for "transplantation, therapy, research, or education.? RCW 68.04.010(3). So it must be human remains. There are all kinds of penalties scattered throughout the section on human remains, for stealing them, for digging them up once buried, etc. 

 

There is one sentence in the RCWs that seems promising? RCW  68.50.100(1) states that ?[t]he right to dissect a dead body shall be limited to cases specially provided by statute or by the direction or will of the deceased.? (Emphasis added.)

 

Does anyone have insight into this situation? Many thanks in advance if you have made it this far! Also, yes, I now know all about Ted Williams. :)

I've only read news articles on this, but apparently Washington now recognizes something call human composting.? I don't think that process contemplates what your client wants, but perhaps at the end of the process what they want would be somehow easier?????

 

Here's one such article.

I have nothing helpful to offer but can't resist mentioning: About 10 years ago I was living in a Mexican tourist town and talking with a Canadian guy who, when he found out I was a lawyer, became very excited because he was looking for help in figuring out how he could get his business startup properly licensed in the U.S. He wanted to start a business that made musical instruments out of the bones of human remains, as family heirlooms. He got the idea apparently from a musician who wanted one of his leg bones turned into a flute to leave as a gift to his kids. Of course I told him I was on vacation and really couldn't help, plus there was international law involved, blah blah blah....exit stage right. Nice guy though; he wasn't nearly as persistent as some about trying to get free cocktail-party advice.

I have nothing helpful to offer but can't resist mentioning: About 10 years ago I was living in a Mexican tourist town and talking with a Canadian guy who, when he found out I was a lawyer, became very excited because he was looking for help in figuring out how he could get his business startup properly licensed in the U.S. He wanted to start a business that made musical instruments out of the bones of human remains, as family heirlooms. He got the idea apparently from a musician who wanted one of his leg bones turned into a flute to leave as a gift to his kids. Of course I told him I was on vacation and really couldn't help, plus there was international law involved, blah blah blah....exit stage right. Nice guy though; he wasn't nearly as persistent as some about trying to get free cocktail-party advice.

Subject: [WSBARP] Unusual disposition of human remains (!)

 

Hi all-

 

I am looking for thoughts- I am trying to advise an estate planning client about the feasibility of carrying out a rather unusual plan for disposition of his remains. He would like his skull to be preserved for his children, as kind of a last vestige of his corporeal existence. His urge to do this sounds strange, but he is a very interesting, kind and smart guy. He does not want to create criminal or other legal problems for anyone who agrees to assist with this plan. I am trying to identify for him the potential legal obstacles to having his skull separated from his body and given to someone to clean and preserve it. (Luckily, he has NOT asked me to help with figuring out who would be willing to carry this plan out for him.)

 

I've been looking through the RCWs and while it seems clear that a person has a right to control disposition of their remains (RCW 68.50.160), it remains vague to me the process by which a person could have anything other than autopsy, burial or cremation take place. His skull would not qualify as an anatomical gift, unless it was given for "transplantation, therapy, research, or education." RCW 68.04.010(3). So it must be human remains. There are all kinds of penalties scattered throughout the section on human remains, for stealing them, for digging them up once buried, etc.

 

There is one sentence in the RCWs that seems promising- RCW  68.50.100(1) states that "[t]he right to dissect a dead body shall be limited to cases specially provided by statute or by the direction or will of the deceased." (Emphasis added.)

 

Does anyone have insight into this situation? Many thanks in advance if you have made it this far! Also, yes, I now know all about Ted Williams. :)

I've seen quit claim, bargain and sale, special warranty, and statutory warranty deeds used to  convey property into a trust and am trying to decide which to use and whether to ask the title company for an endorsement for the new "insured."

 

Any opinion on which is most appropriate form of deed and whether a title endorsement is even necessary.  I vaguely recall that this sort of conveyance won't disturb continuity of coverage under either an ALTA Standard or ALTA Homeowner's policy.

Marc,

 

Under the 2006 ALTA policy, the definition of "insured" generally includes grantor trusts so the endorsement is not necessary.  Under older policies (1992 and 1970 ALTA policy forms), the best practice is to get the additional insured endorsement.  Any of the forms of deeds should work, and I would think a QCD should be fine.

I typically use a Special Warranty Deed. I don't think you need an

endorsement since the Trust or estate planning entity will be insured after

the policy date. See paragraph 2 of the HO policy for definitions.

John,  I typically use a Statutory Warranty Deed for properties because typically I don't know whether they are insured, or when they were insured, or under what ALTA policy they were insured (a lot of times is may be under a much older policy).  My thought is that if the living trust is not insured under the Grantor's existing policy the Trust would have a claim against the Grantor under the statutory warranties, and the Grantor would then have a claim against their title insurance policy, if they have one and it is a covered claim.    If the property was not insured, then the Trust would just deal with the issue, it is unlikely it would bring a claim against the original grantor.  Does it make good sense to continue using the Statutory Warranty Deed when transferring property to grantor trusts?

Subject: FW: Mining in eastern Washington

 

 

Dear colleagues:

 

Potential client has 20 acres of gold claim in eastern Washington.

 

Apparently, to move forward with the mining, one files a Plan of Operation to work the claim, then seeks  cooperation with the Forest Service.

 

Client is seeking an attorney to assist with avenues that may be more productive than waiting on the cooperation of the Forest Service.

 

All referrals appreciated.

 

Regards,

Lisa

That's why I typically go with that route for the preservation of

Subject: Re: [WSBARP] Best practice - Conveying into new trust

 

 

 

John,  I typically use a Statutory Warranty Deed for properties because

typically I don't know whether they are insured, or when they were insured,

or under what ALTA policy they were insured (a lot of times is may be under

a much older policy).  My thought is that if the living trust is not

insured under the Grantor's existing policy the Trust would have a claim

against the Grantor under the statutory warranties, and the Grantor would

then have a claim against their title insurance policy, if they have one and

it is a covered claim.    If the property was not insured, then the Trust

would just deal with the issue, it is unlikely it would bring a claim

against the original grantor.  Does it make good sense to continue using

the Statutory Warranty Deed when transferring property to grantor trusts?

Subject: Re: [WSBARP] Best practice - Conveying into new trust

 

 

 

>From a title insurance perspective, it probably doesn't matter what type of

deed you use, provided the trust is a "Living Trust" created for estate

planning purposes.

 

In the 2006 Owner's Policy the definition of "Insured" includes ".a trustee

or beneficiary of a trust created by a written instrument established by the

insured named in Schedule A for estate planning purposes." 

 

In the Alta Homeowner's Policy the insured ("You") is defined:  (3)  the

trustee or successor trustee of Your  Trust or any Estate Planning Entity

created for You to whom or to which You transfer Your Title after the Policy

Date; (4)  the beneficiaries of Your Trust upon Your death; or

 

Since these definitions are not dependent on continuation of warranty

provisions a quit claim deed would not jeopardize coverage. 

 

 

 

If the trust is not an estate planning trust, I would use a Statutory

Warranty Deed and request an endorsement from the client's Title Insurer.

Subject: [WSBARP] Best practice - Conveying into new trust

 

 

 

I've seen quit claim, bargain and sale, special warranty, and statutory

warranty deeds used to  convey property into a trust and am trying to decide

which to use and whether to ask the title company for an endorsement for the

new "insured."

 

 

 

Any opinion on which is most appropriate form of deed and whether a title

endorsement is even necessary.  I vaguely recall that this sort of

conveyance won't disturb continuity of coverage under either an ALTA

Standard or ALTA Homeowner's policy.
