Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington
TEDRA and Joint account
I was wondering what is considered ''clear and convincing'' evidence.
If the sole depositor had set plans before and after to use all the funds to benefit the whole family, and there was overwhelming proof of this, also that the depositor was sick before and after.
Could this be used?

Re: TEDRA and Joint account
What is admissible evidence is different from the burden of proof. "Clear and convincing evidence" does not address how compelling any one piece of evidence is or has to be, but rather the amount and quality of the evidence that has to be presented to satisfy the burden of proof required in the particular situation. "Clear and convincing evidence" is an intermediate level of burden of proof higher than a preponderance but less than proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
