By Ryka Farotte*
After the unconventional 2020 legislative session due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 saw the enactment of quite a few new laws covering trusts and estates. Some of the standout legislation includes the Legislature’s implementation of the tax changes from Proposition 19 and changes to conservatorship and guardianship law.
