Capping Political Contributions from Beyond the Grave

  • Kathryn Balter, Fogler, Rubinoff LLP

Prior to June 19, 2014, a testator could make unlimited political contributions by way of testamentary disposition. After that, a person may only contribute up to a certain amount. If a Will contains a political contribution in excess of the allowed amount, that excess falls to residue (if the contribution by way of a bequest) or would pass by way of intestacy (if the contribution is a share of residue).
