Stake's Trusts and Estates casebook is designed as a teaching tool
for a basic course in trusts and estates. This casebook is less
willing than some to assume that the goal of following the
decedent's intent overrides other societal concerns. The book
focuses on key cases and UPC provisions, with many fewer note cases
than appear in standard casebooks, rather than providing
hornbook-like coverage of the subject. The hope is that this
narrower focus will make it easier for to students to understand
what to study and perhaps make the book more readable than some
casebooks. Stake's book can be easily covered in a 3-hour course,
or can be supplemented with local law for a 4-hour course. The
casebook includes a variety of policy questions for class
discussion, from questions about the justice and efficiency of
various UPC provisions to questions about the roles of courts and
legislatures in making policy choices.
