This is a traditionally organized Trusts and Estates casebook that
draws its materials exclusively from the case law and statutes of
Wisconsin. The materials consist of judicial opinions from the
Wisconsin Supreme Court, lower state courts, and federal courts
operating in Wisconsin, as well as substantial materials taken from
the current Wisconsin Statutes pertaining to probate, wills and
intestacy, marital property, will substitutes, trusts, and
fiduciary duties. A limited number of notes highlight the areas in
which Wisconsin law departs from the national norm. As a
consequence of the state specific focus of the text and the fact
that cases are drawn from across the span of Wisconsin's history,
it is possible to see the way in which the law of wills and trusts
(and professional responsibility) has responded to changing social
circumstances and evolving patterns of wealth distribution. About
