Contemporary Trusts and Estates captures the rapid evolution of doctrine in trusts and estates law that has occurred over the past half-century in response to profound societal and demographic changes. Based on recent developments in legal education, this casebook integrates legal analysis, judgment and perspective, ethics, and practice skills. It focuses simultaneously on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of the material, teaching students by using traditional case analysis and, at the professor’s option, innovative exercises.
While the casebook covers the customary elements of a trust and estate course and focuses students on core trust and estate issues of intent and statutory analysis, it does so with three innovations:
- Early in the semester, it provides an overview of the status of all people involved in estate planning, addressing issues such as the meaning of “spouse” and “child” and the ethical obligations of lawyers who represent multiple clients.
- It includes exercises that are integrated into the more traditional casebook material and are designed to provide hands-on practical experience; these exercises involve skills ranging from counseling to drafting to litigation.
- It includes numerous problems, which drill down on a particular statute or common law doctrine and require students to apply what they have learned to a hypothetical fact pattern.
The book also presents important questions that arise in trust and estate law, helping frame the policy questions and laws that provide the background to effective estate planning. Ultimately, the book’s goal is for students to understand and appreciate the interrelated aspects of all forms of estate planning — the relationship of wills to trusts to gifts to tax to medical directives — and the necessity for everyone, regardless of their economic circumstances, to consider these issues.
New to the Fourth Edition:
- Coverage of the 2019 amendments to the UPC and the 2017 Uniform Parentage Act
- Addition of new uniform acts including the Uniform Cohabitants’ Economic Remedies Act, the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act, and the Uniform Fiduciary Income and Principal Act
- Explanation of the Uniform Electronic Wills Act and issues raised by electronic wills
- Revisions to the material on trust protectors and directed trusts and inclusion of the Uniform Directed Trusts Act
- A discussion of the use of “silent trusts”
- A new section on future interests
- Incorporation of short explanations of charitable trusts throughout the trust chapters
- New cases added to notes and text
