CasebookPlus Hardbound - New, hardbound print book includes
lifetime digital access to an eBook, with the ability to highlight
and take notes, and 12-month access to a digital Learning Library
that includes self-assessment quizzes tied to this book, leading
study aids, an outline starter, and Gilbert Law Dictionary. This
casebook takes a new approach to teaching trusts and estates. The
primary focus is on estate planning, rather than litigation, and
starts by providing students with all of the major testamentary
tools generally used today, including wills, trusts, powers, joint
tenancies, life insurance, and other will substitutes. With the
basic tools under their belt, students then turn to planning for
the client, the spouse and children, future generations, and for
tax minimization. The book also covers barriers to succession, such
as the rule against perpetuities, slayer statutes, revocation, and
litigation as well as professional responsibility. In addition to
applying wills, trusts, and other tools in a holistic way to
certain planning scenarios, the book focuses heavily on drafting in
light of the myriad statutes that govern in this area. The book
also takes a very different approach to presenting cases. Rather
than including a few long and lightly-edited cases, the book
instead relies on numerous case squibs that illustrate different
factual scenarios for each legal issue, followed by the court's
decision and reasoning. This approach allows students to learn the
range of issues and options that arise in this complex area of
practice. The book also includes numerous statutes intended to
illustrate the different state approaches to certain issues, using
the UPC as the primary model. The authors likewise include practice
points, tax tips, family factors, and technology trends, all of
which are intended to prompt deeper discussion and further thought.
Finally, there are extensive problems throughout the book, with the
answers located at the back, so students can evaluate how they are
progressing. The book has received rave reviews from students and
faculty for its intuitive approach and holistic treatment of the
subject.
