Actor Heath Ledger, who died of an overdose, has one of the most complicated probates the U.S. courts have seen. One issue the probate court is handling is that Mr. Ledger never revised his will after his daughter was born. There are no provisions for her in the will. The problem is complicated by the fact that Mr. Ledger never married the mother of his daughter, actress Michelle Williams. However, Mr. Ledger and Mr. Williams did live together as a couple in Brooklyn from the time before their daughter was born and for the first two years of her life. Which best describes how Mr. Ledger's estate will be distributed?
 A)It will be distributed according to the terms of the will unless paternity can be established
 B)His daughter will be his sole and exclusive heir
 C)The will is invalid because the birth of his daughter served as a revocation by operation of law
 D)The court will distribute one-half of Mr. Ledger's property to his daughter and the other half to his parents, who are still living

Question 2

John has just built a lovely home in West Los Angeles. Being ecologically minded, John has installed solar panels on his roof (for heating the water for his home and for heating his pool and spa). After John has lived in the home for eleven years, Tom builds a threestory home on the lot behind John's and since construction, John has not had even a lukewarm bath - Tom's threestory house blocks John's panels. There are no relevant deed restrictions, zoning ordinances or statutes. What are John's rights?
