The casebook Wills, Trusts, and Estates, 12th Edition, explores the law governing wealth succession, donative transfers, and fiduciary administration. The text pairs judicial decisions with explanatory notes and analytical commentary to support law school study.
Substantive coverage introduces foundational areas of estate planning, including freedom of disposition, default rules of intestacy, and will execution formalities. The volume also examines the creation and administration of trusts, protections for surviving spouses and children, and the taxation of wealth transfers.
Teaching aids such as photographs, estate planning case documents, and illustrations provide visual commentary, while digital study resources offer access to practice questions and an outline tool.
