Legal Terms
« on: Wednesday 17 October 18 17:02 BST (UK) »
Questions about two legal terms.

Is "mutual disposition and settlement with a spouse" considered a divorce decree or document?

What is a "trust disposition and settlement"?

Thanks.

No. I think it's what might loosely be described as a joint will made by a husband and wife.

What is loosely described as a will.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
