Up to this point, I was really impressed that the California bar exam forum was really helpful, informative, encouraging, and civil, without any of the typical annoying TLS BS. But this statement just proved that it was too good to be true.

Is there any possibility of there being an error/major type on your bar exam? There was such a typo on the fifth essay question on my exam.

Trusts Question? Elaborate? bc that question was kind of a mess.

[uvauvauva]

Sis was in the last sentence of that question. But, her name did not appear earlier in the question. There was another co-trustee listed with Henry.

Sis was the co-trustee in the trust set up by Wynn. She was also the person who sold the shares and put them in a new house. Who did your question say was the co-trustee? In any event, if you are sure you had typo contact them. All your questions are in that folder w your applicant number on it so if there was in fact a typo they'll be able to verify it.

I did. Thanks. Just wondering what happened.

It is indeed very alarming that the Bar printed your exam separately from all the rest and then inadvertently inserted a major typo into it.

I had a big weird distorted matrixy blob of ink on one of my MBE pages and had to have it swapped out mid run. But having names switched around on an essay puts that to shame 50x.

I believe the first reference said Wynn's sister.

Wtf is your problem? He/she is coming on here for advice and you feel the need to insert some condescending unhelpful BS? Again grow up. Why create an account immediately after the bar exam is over after not contributing a single thing to this board all summer.Do you feel superior by bashing others and offering snide remarks? Love how the internet emboldens aholes like you.

Hey, not sure what your angle is, but I think you misunderstood. I'm on their side. Seems pretty lame of the Bar to do that to someone.

In that case I apologize and will remove my comment. I thought your comment came across as condescending but I was prob biased by your prior remarks. Again sorry.

[dtl]

I read it that way too, but might have been over sensitive.

[uvauvauva]

Thanks for your feedback everyone! I completely bombed that question b/c of that. Lol. 5/6 isn't that bad.

Trusts essay Q - trustee v. Charity - anyone else potentially spot a RAP issue that turned on charitable trust vs private trust? Was I crazy in thinking that?

Threw in a few lines about this. No RAP issue even if it could possibly apply cause she herself was the life in being and charity's interest was triggered immediately upon her death. Also mentioned how it could be argued that it's charity to charity exception anyways because charity had 1/2 interest in prop before the entire transfer

Yeah, I think you're right. Oh well, it's only one question on that section and hopefully I'll get some credit for talking about it because otherwise I have no clue (and I don't think I'm alone) as to what that part of that essay was getting at.

Someone give me some insight on the first essay..remedies. Was his rate $100 x 100 hours for the entire project or did he estimate 100 hours a month?

I had the exact same thought about the trusts question. When the facts presented said that Wynn purchased the stock I have to assume that they meant to say that Sis purchased the stock (then sold it, bought the house, etc.).

If Wynn was actually correct then the call of the second part of the question essentially becomes what COA does a co-trustee have against the other co-trustee for allowing the settlor to purchase stock using trust principal (which technically can't even happen because a settlor can't actually touch trust res after it has been put in an irrevocable trust even if they wanted to)? Henry would also be asserting a COA against himself (since he would share some of Sis' violations). This can't be what the bar examiners meant. If Sis purchased the stock, which is what I think they meant, then you would just go through your trustee duties, duty to manage, throw in some prudent investor stuff, blah blah and then go on to the quasi-CP question. Not easy, but at least logical.

I don't think that was a typo. I took Wills, Trusts, and Estates, and if I seem to remember the course correctly, a settlor can make the initial investments before the trustee manages the property. So Wynn I believe did make the initial stock purchase.

Yeah the point of that was that Sis took that money and dumped it into a house for herself breaching the duty of loyalty, the duty to invest, the duty to diversify...etc.

The entire prompt I kept trying to find out if W was dead.

100 hours per month for 3 months
