The Bais HaVaad Institute of Talmudic Law is presenting a seven part internet lecture series on halachic wills and estates. I mentioned the introductory lecture by Rabbi Ari Marburger in my post on the Estate of Max Feinberg.
The second lecture, also by Rabbi Marburger, surveyed the various principles that are relevant to the halachic enforceability of wills, including whether a valid kinyan (transaction) can be accomplished by executing a will, the extent to which halacha incorporates domestic law (dina demalchuta dina), and whether and under what circumstances the heirs are required to honor the the wishes of the deceased. Audio and video of past lectures are available on the Bais HaVaad website. Audio downloads are free of charge, though registration is required.
According to an e-mail sent out this week, the third lecture, entitled “Wives, Firstborns, & Children That Are Astray” will be presented by Rabbi Dovid Grossman on Sunday 12/27/09 at 10 am EST. The rest of the series, still unscheduled, will cover the following topics:
- How to Write a Halachic Will
- Trusts & Foundations
- Eldercare in Halacha
- Development Disability and Guardianship
Registration can be done through the website.
