Happy Third Anniversary of #Lawyercat day, for all who celebrate! Hard to believe it's only been three years since the phenomenon swept the globe! It's been used in hundreds of CLEs, and even now we hear echoes of "I'm here live. I'm not a cat!"

The MA Probate Court has announced new Guardianship and Conservatorship documents that can be eFiled.

[Alexis B. Kaplan @alexisbkaplan]

"The proposal also exempts estates valued under $2 million from the estate tax and seeks to eliminate the “tax cliff,” when any estate above the threshold triggers taxes on the entire value rather than just the overage."

MA land court examiner: remotely notarized documents may not be accepted in MA registry of deeds if signed after 3/31/23. Something to be careful about, as there is still a MA remote notary statute, and many other states allow it as well.
