1. Case: Lalli v. Lalli
(US 1978)
a. Facts: An illegitimate
child seeks, through intestate, to inherit his father's estate.
Significantly, the father & son had every other aspect of the
parent-child relationship.An NY law excludes P from instate
succession because he didn't prove paternity during the dad's
lifetime. The Sup. Ct. upholds the law.
b. Reasoning:
•The statute promotes the
orderly disposition of property.
•The court wants to prevent
frauds.
