trusts-and-estates legal skills by jurisdiction

Trusts and estates work is unforgiving on detail: a missed execution formality voids a will, a poorly drafted trust deed can misalign beneficial interests for generations, and a cross-border estate may simultaneously engage forced-heirship rules in France, domicile doctrine under English common law, and federal estate-tax thresholds in the United States. The trusts and estates legal skills in the ThomasMore catalog address that granularity directly — covering will drafting, trust formation and amendment, estate administration, succession planning, and fiduciary duty across the jurisdictions where this practice is most active.

Each skill is agent-ready, designed to run a discrete, repeatable task: mapping applicable succession law to a client's domicile and asset situs, assembling probate filing checklists, stress-testing a trust structure against the rule against perpetuities or its statutory replacement, or flagging cross-border reporting obligations. Practitioners reach them over MCP or pull them down as files, slotting them into the matter workflow without rebuilding the analysis from scratch each time. Authors maintain these skills as domestic succession statutes and tax codes evolve, so the logic stays current. Filter by jurisdiction, license, or author in the ThomasMore catalog to match a skill to the estate or trust matter in front of you.
