Contemporary Approaches To Trusts & Estates Law (Aspen Coursebook)

This innovative casebook:

• Proceeds chronologically, covering lifetime planning issues before wills.
• Uses extensive textual explanations to present the law and its many nuances.
• Consistent with the call in the Carnegie Report for schools to add more practice skills to the curriculum, includes exercises in document drafting, role-playing, and letter writing to clients.
• Reproduces statutory materials and the Restatement, so that no separate supplement is required.
• Explores the ethical obligations of estate planning lawyers using the MRPC and the ACTEC Commentaries.
• Presents contemporary cases, such as Feinberg, Kuralt, and Schiavo, which reflect the development of the law into the 21st century.
• Includes fact-based problems, requiring students to explore cases, the UPC, the UTC, and other statutes, as well as the MRPC, in depth.
