AS WE ENTER mid-2002 and the summer months, one has cause to ponder the diversity of topics and issues covered in this column and the columns of my colleagues in the Trusts and Estates Bar over the past six months – from attorney’s fees, to statutes of limitation, to opinions of the appellate divisions, statewide, to pending legislation and to suggested legislative reforms in areas addressed to attorney-fiduciaries, paternity testing and joint bank accounts. Decisions rendered in the area of trusts and estates since the writing of my last column in May have re-visited these issues, as well as others of interest to practitioners in the field.
They say that variety is the spice of life. Hence, this column will be a variation of those past, offering not a single theme, but a lite bite of information on a multitude of subjects of interest to our bar.
