Distribution by Allocation Statute Sample Clauses
The "Distribution by Allocation Statute" clause defines how a deceased person's estate will be distributed according to the statutory rules of allocation, rather than by the specific instructions of a will or trust. In practice, this means that if a will is invalid, incomplete, or absent, the estate's assets are divided among heirs as prescribed by state or local intestacy laws, which typically prioritize spouses, children, and other close relatives. This clause ensures that there is a clear, legally recognized method for distributing assets, thereby preventing disputes and confusion among potential heirs when explicit instructions are lacking.
Distribution by Allocation Statute. If a Settling State has an Allocation Statute and/or a Statutory Trust that addresses allocation or distribution of amounts apportioned to such State’s State Fund, Abatement Accounts Fund, and/or Subdivision Fund and that, to the extent any or all such sub-funds are addressed, requires (1) all amounts to be used for Opioid Remediation, except as allowed by subsection VI.B.2, and (2) at least 70% of all amounts to be used solely for future Opioid Remediation, then, to the extent allocation or distribution is addressed, the amounts apportioned to that State’s State Fund, Abatement Accounts Fund, and Subdivision Fund under subsection VI.C shall be allocated and distributed as addressed and provided by the applicable Allocation Statute or Statutory Trust. For the avoidance of doubt, an Allocation Statute or Statutory Trust need not address all three (3) sub-funds that comprise the Settlement Fund, and if the applicable Allocation Statute or Statutory Trust does not address distribution of all or some of these three (3) sub-funds, the applicable Allocation Statute or Statutory Trust does not replace the default provisions in subsection VI.D.4 of any such unaddressed fund. For example, if an Allocation Statute or Statutory Trust that meets the requirements of this subsection VI.D.2 only addresses funds restricted to abatement, then the default provisions in this Agreement concerning allocation among the three (3) sub-funds comprising the Settlement Fund and the distribution of the State Fund and Subdivision Fund for that State would still apply, while the distribution of the applicable State’s Abatement Accounts Fund would be governed by the qualifying Allocation Statute or Statutory Trust.
