2010/2011 ANNUAL REPORT:
 

This Section commented on, or assisted with, numerous legislative items in the estate and trust law area, primarily the proposed Maryland Trust Code (co-sponsored with the Maryland Bankers Association), and has been reviewing the possibility of emergency legislation to address the unexpected Federal estate tax law changes. It has also been working with the Maryland Association of Judges of the Orphans’ Court and the Registers of Wills to study and pursue legislation and created administrative procedures relating to the jurisdiction of the Orphans’ Court for guardianship proceedings. The Section supported a series of CLE courses, and it will present a program at the MSBA Annual Meeting.
