There is no citation of explination why the in terrorem (no challange) clauses in wills are not necessary in New York State. Please add!

I, a different person than the one the wrote above, am also clueless about this "not necessary in New York" language. EPTL 3-3.5 (b) describes how and when a condition triggering disinheritance operates and a recent New York Court of Appeals case (Matter of Singer, http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=13982625064216663385) indicates that in terrorem clauses can be enforceable. As a result, I am going to update the stub and take out that statement on New York. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.113.40.82 (talk) 03:18, 4 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

In terrorem clauses were in NY the past (1990s) not necessary, but they have been since at least 2010. Bearian (talk) 23:43, 9 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
