[edit] Estate Administration

You'll see that I've changed Estate Administration to become a redirect to Administration of an estate on death. As a general principle, Wikipedia doesn't like to have two articles on the same topic. (There is a proper merge procedure for established articles). You will also see that "Administration of an estate on death", despite its worldwide title, is tagged as not general. It would be great if you would amplify it with US law, or at least NY law. --John Maynard Friedman 13:42, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Appreciate that note. Yes, I will amplify the Administration of Estate on Death page with US/NY law. I did note the change and figured it had to do with world view. Administration of estate on death has a distinctly British note rolling off my tongue.

The current long title is to make it generic. The specific for each country can then use their local term.
By the way, it is conventional to reply to other editors' comment on their talk pages, not your own. Though of course if the discussion becomes significant, transfer the whole thing to the talk page of the article. Not also my use of the ':' markup to indent my replt. Keep editing, we all learn by correcting our mistakes! --John Maynard Friedman 14:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links

This page is going to keep track of links for me. I have so many now that I'd like to organize them SOMEWHERE!

You might want to include {{Wills&Trusts}} as in the Probate article. (I've written this in your 'reserved' space, so feel free to delete it!). --John Maynard Friedman 14:13, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unfair prejudice

You've made a bit of a mess of this! Could you create a proper disambiguation page - and a main page for this US evidence doctrine for me? Cheers. Wikidea 18:07, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
