Violation of Statute Allows Suit for Negligent Failure to Resolve Insurance Claim Post 4706 Christine Moody, individually, and in her capacity as the Personal Representative of the Estate of Steven "Troy" Moody, Deceased v. Oregon Community Credit Union, aka OCCU, an Oregon entity, association, union, or corporation et al., Defendants, and Federal Insurance Company, an Indiana corporation, 371 Or. 772, SC S069409, Supreme Court of Oregon (December 29, 2023) Plaintiff, whose husband was accidentally shot and killed during a camping trip, brought this action against defendant, a first-party life insurer, claiming, among other things, that defendant had negligently failed to investigate and pay her claim for policy benefits, causing her to have fewer financial resources to navigate the loss of a bread-winning spouse and, consequently, to suffer economic harm and emotional distress. FACTS In the case now before the Supreme Court it must consider whether plaintiff has alleged a legally protected interest sufficient to subject defendant to liability for emotional distress damages. To decide whether that alleged interest is a legally protected interest sufficient to subject defendant to liability for emotional distress damages. Plaintiff has alleged a viable common-law negligence claim against defendant for emotional distress damages. Therefore, the trial court erred in granting defendant's motions to dismiss plaintiffs negligence claim and in striking her claim for emotional distress damages. ZALMA OPINION The state of Oregon, like many states, has enacted statutes punishing insurers for bad faith claims handling. The insurer, after a change in allegations, paid the plaintiff the $3,000 life insurance limit, only to find itself sued for negligent claims handling. The suit was dismissed by the trial court and reversed by the Court of Appeals and the Oregon Supreme Court. Since the statute requires fair claims handling the plaintiffs allegations allowed it to sue the insurer for emotional distress damages when it initially refused to pay because of an exclusion.  This is a limited decision and stretches the obligations of an insurer beyond fairness and even with a clear and unambiguous exclusion it can be sued for emotional distress.

This week, we're replaying a classic episode where Steve and Yvonne interview Eric Rosen of Rosen Injury Law (https://roseninjurylawyers.com/).    Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Rosen Injury Law founder Eric Rosen explains how he secured justice for the family of Vivian Wilkinson, a lifelong smoker who died from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) caused by her addiction to R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's cigarettes. Building upon the success of the 1994 Engle class action lawsuit comprised of Florida smokers, trial lawyer Eric Rosen successfully took Broward County, Florida jury members on a journey back in time to when smoking was deeply ingrained in American society, helping them see how that environment influenced Vivian's decisions as well as the actions of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Despite the defense's attempts to convince the jury that the timing of Vivian's initial COPD symptoms failed to meet the statute of limitations, the jury found in favor of Vivian's estate, awarding $3 million in compensatory damages to her children, Vivian and Eugene, and $10 million in punitive damages against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company for knowingly concealing information that ultimately contributed to Vivian's death. Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Eric Rosen Eric Rosen is a Fort Lauderdale injury lawyer and founder of Rosen Injury Law, P.A. Mr. Rosen is Board Certified by the Florida Bar as a civil trial specialist, a certification held by less than 2% of all attorneys licensed to practice law in Florida. Eric devotes his practice to representing plaintiffs who have suffered injury or death as a result of another person's or corporation's negligence. As lead trial attorney, Eric has obtained over $100 million in jury verdicts for his clients in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. Eric has also co-chaired and served on trial teams obtaining combined jury verdicts in excess of $300 million. His verdicts have been featured extensively in the Daily Business Review, Courtroom View Network and other media outlets. Eric began his legal career as a prosecutor at the Office of the State Attorney in Broward County, Florida, where he tried dozens of jury trials and countless bench trials to verdict. Mr. Rosen left public service to pursue his passion for helping people who have suffered due to someone else's misconduct. Mr. Rosen then rose through the ranks to become a partner at a prominent South Florida personal injury and wrongful death firm. For over a decade, Eric dedicated his practice to catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. After unparalleled success, Mr. Rosen pursued his dream of opening his own law firm and established Rosen Injury Law, P.A. As a Fort Lauderdale accident lawyer, he expanded his practice to not only include catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, but to also help those who have suffered a range of injuries that may not be life threatening, but still result in serious pain, inconvenience and loss of enjoyment of life. In addition to his law school education and his career in both public and private practice, Eric is also a graduate of the renowned Trial Lawyers College established by Gerry Spence; one of the country's premiere trial schools. This is an intensive three-and-a-half-week trial skills program held in Dubois, Wyoming, by top litigators and trial instructors from around the country. While there, Eric immersed himself in new trial techniques for jury selection, opening statement, direct and cross examination, and closing arguments. He incorporates those skills to this day.

He is extremely active in the Queens, New York Community, the Queens County Bar Association, and New York State Bar Association and is frequently invited to speak at events about Elder Law. If you'd like to learn more about Elder Law, Medicaid planning, Guardianship, Special Needs Trusts, or Probate law contact the Law Office of Frank Bruno, Jr. today at 718-418-5000. Thank you for listening! Eldercare law is really an umbrella term encompassing multiple areas of law. Some elder care attorneys handle subjects that most people know something about, such as probate, guardianship, estate planning. Other eldercare lawyers focus their practice on other areas of law such as special needs planning, VA benefits planning, and Medicaid planning. So, what is Medicaid planning? Medicaid planning is a way to protect people's assets from the threat of long-term care expenses. Many clients are between 65 and 95, own their own homes, and have between $25,000 and $750,000 worth of assets in addition to the house. What many people don't realize is exactly how expensive long term care expenses can be – In 2020 the average costs of a skilled nursing facility, in New York is $14,250.00 per month. Someone can be solidly middle class or upper-middle class, have saved their whole life, and think that they'll have plenty of money for whatever happens only to suffer a stroke, major heart attack or get an Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diagnosis and need help with their activities of daily living. If they have this six-figure per year care expense, many people spend everything. Medicare does not pay skilled nursing home expenses after 100 days. An elder care attorney, who handles Medicaid planning, is able to legally and ethically protect people's assets to get them qualified for Medicaid. Medicaid, unlike Medicare, has excellent long-term care benefits. This helps them supplement their lifestyle with their own assets (to improve the quality of their life while alive) and make it more likely that they will have something to pass onto their heirs after they pass away. There are many myths and much misinformation surrounding long-term care Medicaid in New York. To learn more please visit... https://www.frankbrunolaw.com

In episode 5 of Kofi Time, host Ahmad Fawzi interviews diplomat Michael Møller on Kofi Annan's special kind of leadership. A respected leader among his peers and the public, Kofi Annan served the people of the world with empathy and tolerance. Embodying moral steadfastness and an acute political acumen, his leadership was one of its kind. What drove him, and how can we emulate his leadership style to face today's global challenges? About Michael Moller: Mr Møller has over 40 years of experience as an international civil servant in the United Nations. He began his career in 1979 with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and worked for the United Nations in different capacities in New York, Mexico, Iran, Haiti, Cyprus and Geneva. Mr Møller served as Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva as well as Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament and Personal Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General to the Conference of Disarmament from September 2013 to July 2019. Prior to that, Mr Møller served as Executive Director of the Kofi Annan Foundation from 2008 to 2011. In recognition of his efforts to deepen public understanding of the vital role of the United Nations and its partners in Geneva, Mr Møller received a series of prizes from the City of Geneva, the Union Suisse des Attachés de Presse and, most recently, the Fondation pour Genève. Born in 1952 in Copenhagen, Mr Møller earned a Master's degree in International Relations from Johns Hopkins University, the United States, and a Bachelor's degree in International Relations from the University of Sussex, United Kingdom.

Probate is another one of those words many have heard and it's probably something you're told you want to avoid, but not many people have experienced or truly understand what it entails even if they know what the term means. Probate is the legal word for the Court process of handling the assets and obligations of a person when they pass away. Assets in a person's individual name (without having a beneficiary designation) have to go through probate to transfer to the beneficiaries So – what does probate entail? Probate can be formal (with lots of Court oversight) or informal (with little or no Court oversight). The process for both formal and informal probate begins with an application for administration. Informal is always preferred over formal for the simple fact that there is less cost, less oversight, and a shortened process. That being said, when there is conflict sometimes Court oversight is required to effectively move the process along. After an application for administration is filed and accepted by the Court, a Personal Representative is appointed. The Personal Representative (other states call this person an executor) is the person who will put in the work to settle the estate: publishing notices; informing creditors; filing an inventory; compiling and liquidating the assets; paying last expenses, outstanding bills, and administrative costs; and filing any needed tax returns. After the work is complete and an accounting of the process put together, the Personal Representative can distribute the assets according to will. Or, if no estate planning was done, according to the state's intestacy laws. I just went over a simplified version of the probate process. A typical probate can last about a year. A contested process can take years. There are also costs associated with probate - Court costs, attorney's fees, and accountant's fees on top of the ordinary costs of administration. Finally, probate is a public process, which means creditors are more likely to come forward; beneficiaries are more likely to contest; and strangers are more likely to learn about your business. It is important to sit down and plan your estate. Deciding not to have a plan, is still a plan. Be mindful of what your actions (or inactions) mean and what the process will entail after you are gone. Also, you cannot obviously force our loved ones to make their own plans. If you find yourself in a situation where you are facing probate for a friend or family member: Don't panic. The best thing to do is talk with an experienced Massachusetts probate attorney. #AubreyLaw, #EstatePlanning, #EstatePlanningLawyer, #PeaceofMind

With my work representing the Personal Representative to the late Cpl. Lionel Desmond in the Desmond Fatality Inquiry coming to an end, I have an announcement on my next project. The Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commission, which will examine the tragic events of April 18-19, 2020 in Portapique and other locations throughout Central Nova Scotia, is set to begin hearings on October 26, 2021, and conclude by November 2022. This is to be an independent public inquiry into the events, and is designed to let us know what happened, and make recommendations for changes wherever that may be appropriate. As one of the very few active private practice lawyers in Nova Scotia with any experience in an Inquiry setting, I will use the skills and insight I have acquired over 15 years as a leading inquiry, litigation, and criminal defense lawyer in Nova Scotia to provide insider coverage and legal analysis for those following the Mass Casualty Commission. I have been following the developments out of the tragedy since the beginning, and already see many areas that would benefit from the scrutiny that can be provided by an Inquiry process. I will watch the Inquiry proceedings and provide live analysis, along with short daily articles and video summaries of the proceedings. I will talk about the legal strategies of the various Parties, the relevance and quality of the evidence that is presented, the thinking that goes into specific lines of questioning, any political angles behind the scenes, and the media coverage of the proceedings. I also happen to know many of the lawyers and police officers involved in the case, and so can provide those personal insights to the public as well. My goal is to provide regular citizens with insight into what is really happening in the Inquiry and why it might matter to them. This is designed to be a public service, and so most of my content will be available to anyone free of charge. I will have an option for those who would enjoy some extra content, or else just feel like supporting the project, to make donations or become a subscriber. As October 26th approaches, I will post some content to set some context for the inquiry, or as any announcements are made by the Commission. Regular posts will start as the opening of the Inquiry approaches. I hope that people will find this of use, and I look forward to your feedback throughout.

The death of a loved one requires the distribution of that person's property, cash, retirement/investment accounts and real estate. In many instances having a personal representative, or executor, of the estate is necessary and working within the probate court is required. In some States, this can be an expensive and complex process, while in others relatively simple. My guest, Probate Judge Cristy Carbon-Gaul, will talk with us about those instances in which a probate is necessary and discuss ways to avoid it. She will also address such questions as; What if there is no will? What if the proposed executor is not appropriate? Why does it sometimes take so long? What does it mean when there is a pour-over will? How do you handle the personal property?....to name a few. A great show for those considering how they want their own estate handled and/or those named in an older loved ones estate planning documents.

This week, your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Eric Rosen of Rosen Injury Law (https://roseninjurylawyers.com/).    Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Rosen Injury Law founder Eric Rosen explains how he secured justice for the family of Vivian Wilkinson, a lifelong smoker who died from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) caused by her addiction to R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's cigarettes. Building upon the success of the 1994 Engle class action lawsuit comprised of Florida smokers, trial lawyer Eric Rosen successfully took Broward County, Florida jury members on a journey back in time to when smoking was deeply ingrained in American society, helping them see how that environment influenced Vivian's decisions as well as the actions of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Despite the defense's attempts to convince the jury that the timing of Vivian's initial COPD symptoms failed to meet the statute of limitations, the jury found in favor of Vivian's estate, awarding $3 million in compensatory damages to her children, Vivian and Eugene, and $10 million in punitive damages against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company for knowingly concealing information that ultimately contributed to Vivian's death.

Mr. Rosen is Board Certified by the Florida Bar as a civil trial specialist, a certification held by less than 2% of all attorneys licensed to practice law in Florida. Eric devotes his practice to representing plaintiffs who have suffered injury or death as a result of another person's or corporation's negligence. As lead trial attorney, Eric has obtained over $100 million in jury verdicts for his clients in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. Eric has also co-chaired and served on trial teams obtaining combined jury verdicts in excess of $300 million. His verdicts have been featured extensively in the Daily Business Review, Courtroom View Network and other media outlets. Eric began his legal career as a prosecutor at the Office of the State Attorney in Broward County, Florida, where he tried dozens of jury trials and countless bench trials to verdict. Mr. Rosen left public service to pursue his passion for helping people who have suffered due to someone else's misconduct. Mr. Rosen then rose through the ranks to become a partner at a prominent South Florida personal injury and wrongful death firm. For over a decade, Eric dedicated his practice to catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. After unparalleled success, Mr. Rosen pursued his dream of opening his own law firm and established Rosen Injury Law, P.A. As a Fort Lauderdale accident lawyer, he expanded his practice to not only include catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, but to also help those who have suffered a range of injuries that may not be life threatening, but still result in serious pain, inconvenience and loss of enjoyment of life. In addition to his law school education and his career in both public and private practice, Eric is also a graduate of the renowned Trial Lawyers College established by Gerry Spence; one of the country's premiere trial schools. This is an intensive three-and-a-half-week trial skills program held in Dubois, Wyoming, by top litigators and trial instructors from around the country. While there, Eric immersed himself in new trial techniques for jury selection, opening statement, direct and cross examination, and closing arguments. He incorporates those skills to this day. As a Fort Lauderdale injury lawyer, Eric has served on the faculty for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy where he has taught trial skills to lawyers from around the country. He also spends time teaching law students and high school students about personal injury practice, product liability, and trial practice.

Today we speak to Francisco Siervent, Owner of Keystone Law Firm speaking on the 3 Thing missing from Most Living Trust. Let's dive into these 3 missing items. 1. Don't Avoid Living Probate - within a living trust, there is verbiage that informs your loved ones if something were to happen and you become incapacitated such as a Stroke, Dementia, Head Injury, or any other reason you could not make decisions for yourself. This is called a Guardianship. A Guardianship is when someone needs to step in and help make decisions for medical, medication, or you're all over health and well being. The other part of this would be a Conservatorship. A Conservator is someone who would help make financial decisions and help pay for the bills of the loved one. In Arizona, we are one of the few states with Mental Health Power of Attorney. When someone does not have these documents within their Living Trust, even when they are living, they would need to go to the Probate Court and have the Courts assign a Conservator and Guardian. This can be very messy and extremely expensive. When coming from another state, check into the Mental Health Power of Attorney's as some state may not require this document. 2. Doesn't get Created Early Enough - When there is a situation with an urgent problem, such as someone is in Hospice or has been given a short amount of time to live. When someone is in this situation, it's hard for a loved one to put a Trust together. What Fransico explains that when in this situation, a Will, which is written instructions, is needed. At this point, the person will still go to Probate, but the instructions will be in writing so the Probate Courts will at least know what direction to go. This isn't the most ideal situation, but at least you have something written for the Family, Attorney, and Court to go by. 3. Too Complicated to update them - Many families who had made Trust years ago, don't think or don't want to get a review because they feel it will take too long, be too expensive, or just don't want to make any more decisions about their Trust. Francisco explains that it's easier then you think. Many times you just need to amend the Trust you already have or just add the documents, such as the Mental Health Power. Francisco explains that the easiest way to get started either in the beginning or when updating a Trust, start with a few small steps such as asking these two simple questions, "Who's in Charge" and "Where do my items go". These questions will at least get you the bare minimum of how to start with a Trust. Then each year start to add more to your Trust. Francisco's law firm, Keystone Law meets with their families yearly like a CPA to go over any changes that may have happened in the past year. Keystone Law Firm is also one of the few Law Offices that guarantee you will not end up in Probate with their yearly checks.

You just found out someone else has named you as personal representative, or executor, in their will. Find out what every "PR", or everyone who's wondering if they should be PR, should know.

Leaving your final wishes to someone else can be a daunting prospect. Your Personal Representative or Successor Trustee could steal it all, but it is very unlikely if you plan correctly. Technically...They Could Take It All Just a likely they could rob a bank. In reality is Personal Representative and Successor Trustees don't steal from estates. Most often your estate is protected because you picked a trustworthy person. In Oregon, the Probate Court will keep an eye on your estate. Beneficiaries will also keep a close eye on the Personal Representative or Successor Trustee. If they smell anything fishy, they have options for correcting the situation. The Powers They Do Have Personal Representatives and Successor Trustees have lots of power. Their power comes from your Will or Trust and the State Laws. Generally, they can do most anything that achieves your wishes and desires. However, they can't do anything illegal. Personal Representatives and Successor Trustees Have Similar Duties There are really four main duties for both Personal Representative and Successor Trustees. Gather all of your assets. Pay creditors. Disburse your assets pursuant to your wishes, or the State Laws if you don't have an Estate Plan. Close your Estate.

A couple that I worked with this year was surprised to learn that they need a Will to go along with their Trust based Estate Plan. This couple came to me with a Will based Estate Plan that they had for years. These was nothing wrong with their plan when it was setup. However, as time passes, circumstances change as to your Estate Planning needs. After learning about their current circumstances, we all agreed that a Trust based Estate Plan was right for them. When they came in for their signing cermony, we reviewed their Trust and other documents. The couple was surprised that switching form a Will based to Trust based Estate Plan would require them to still have Will. There Are Two Main Reasons You Need a Will With Your Trust REASON #1 - You pass away before your Trust is fully funded.  This can happed if you pass away before you have time to fund your Trust, or if there is a mistake/oversight and an asset is properly funded into your Trust. In this case, your Pour-Over Will directs that you are leaving your probate assets (those not funded into your Trust) to your Trust. Once the Probate is complete, all of your assets are then handled pursuant to the terms of your Trust. REASON #2 - Your Trust is invalid for some reason.​ It doesn't happen often, but there is always a change that your Trust can be found to be invalid.  It could be an error in executing your Trust, or due to an heir challenging your Trust in Court. No matter the reason, if your Trust is invalid that you assets will need to go through Probate. In this case, your Pour-Over Will directs your Personal Representative to setup a new Trust with the same goals, heirs and wishes as your invalid Trust. Then all of your assets are left to the new Trust and your assets will go where you wanted them to go in the first place. Hopefully Your Pour-Over Will Never Gets Used. As you've heard me say in the past, a goal of having a Trust is to avoid Probate. That means that our goal is to never use your Pour-Over Will. Despite our goal, we never want to put all of our eggs in one basket and having the Pour-Over Will is an insurance policy for your Estate Plan.
