More on ‘The Descendants’

The Legally Easy Podcasters at RocketLawyer recently recorded a podcast on the film, The Descendants. The Podcasters also included a trusts discussion with Scott Martin (editor of The Trust Advisor) in the podcast.

According to the Podcasters, the film was, “another great piece of art by film-maker Alexander Payne. It was a wonderful movie, with a screenplay…that managed a beautiful understated reflection of the tangles of real life. But it was also a film that raised the complexities of trusts, and the law, in most U.S. states, against the bestowal of trusts in perpetuity.”

To listen to the podcast and/or read the full critique of the movie, see Eva Arevuo, A  Legal Lens on ‘The Descendants’, The RocketLawyer Podcast, Dec. 2, 2011.
