Coke Jokes About Michael Irvin, “Dead Hand” Land Trusts, The 300-Year Wealth Law

This week on the Weekly Docket, join Phil and Chris as they use the viral comments about NFL legend Michael Irvin as a case study on defamation. They explore the thin line between protected satire and actionable assertions of fact in the age of social media. The guys also tackle a complex real estate dilemma: how to sell land while preserving family occupancy rights through the use of life estates and remainder interests. Finally, they dive into the fascinating world of "dead hand" control, explaining how new Texas statutes now allow trusts to last for an incredible 300 years, effectively bypassing traditional rules against perpetuities.
