This book provides an outline and analysis of Wills, Trusts, and
Estates, in a convenient format both for class preparation and
studying for exams. It is a clear and concise explanation of legal
concepts and terms, the rationale and inter-relation of various
principles, and provides hints for analysis, strategies for
evaluation, and study tips. Topics covered include intestacy, will
execution formalities and contest, revocation, will contracts, will
substitutes, construction and interpretation, restrictions on
disinheritance, trust creation and operation, fiduciary
administration, powers of appointment, future interests, the Rule
Against Perpetuities, and planning for incapacity. It is
particularly useful in cutting through the fog of future interests,
and making sense of the many ancient doctrines that befuddle
students and inform modern practice. This title also includes
self-testing, review questions, and detailed explanations.
