Instead of appointing one of these older relatives, the court has appointed DuBose&#8217;s 18-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is an important principle of estate law: if an unmarried person passes away without naming an executor for the estate, then a strong preference is to appoint a child. In this case, the daughter was judged to be competent and capable of managing the estate, so she was appointed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although a wrongful death case against the University of Cincinnati has not been filed yet, it appears that the school is eager to settle this case as quickly as possible. The daughter will most likely be managing a few million dollars in the foreseeable future and she will need to distribute the funds fairly to DuBose&#8217;s other family members.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nReference: <strong>Cincinnati.com<\/strong> (Nov. 19, 2015) <em>&#8220;Settlement talks to begin in DuBose case&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aftermath of a high-profile police shooting incident in Cincinnati illustrates a central tenet of estate law when a person passes away without an estate plan. \u00a0 The death of Sam DuBose received massive media attention and sparked national outrage.
