Does your state permit in terrorem clauses? Do you think they are fair and if so, under what circumstances? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
Jurisdictions are increasingly holding penalty clauses ineffective. The purpose of this question is to get the students to think about the pros and cons of putting them in a will. Even in states where they are ineffective, adding such a clause will get the family to think about why their “loved one” deliberately left him or her out or left him or her with a lesser inheritance than was expected (and thus, allows you to discuss the nature of expectations among beneficiaries and heirs).
