One More Dead Guy
Well, I learned that B is dead as well, and his executor just likes to litigate. So, from now on people, it would be helpful if you just quit dying!
On the bright side--aside from needless litigation, this was the Jurisdiction professor's greatest dream. If I just rewrite the entry on my exam, the professor would love it. I could start with a general Jurisdiction analysis; however, this is really a venue/choice of law issue. The Conflict of Laws rears its ugly head into this case, and the answer by way of Forum Non Conveniens--choice of law would be Ohio within the Constitutional framework, falling within the plenary powers generally provided in the ORC. Yay for OH--IO!!!!! It's interesting to see how attorneys try to fit absolutely every argument into their memos--Forum non, minimum contacts, situs of assets...and they don't have to write 10 pages folks. They get it all in like 4 pages. Legal Writing Professor would never have allowed that.
