Price range: $109.99 through $294.99
Description
The latest edition of Gratuitous Transfers: Wills, Trusts, and Estates offers a thoroughly updated and thoughtfully revised presentation of the core doctrines and contemporary developments in the field of succession law. Reflecting changes in both statutory and case law since the previous 2013 edition, the new edition preserves the clear organization and pedagogical strengths of earlier editions while incorporating the latest legal trends and doctrinal shifts.
Key updates include the addition of a new principal case that addresses beneficiary consent in the context of trust accountings, a growing area of importance in fiduciary litigation and trust administration. The text also integrates important legal developments surrounding same-sex marriage and its implications for inheritance rights and family-based estate planning, along with updated discussions on revocation of wills by divorce and the evolving doctrines concerning reformation of wills.
In response to growing innovation and complexity in trust practice, the new edition provides expanded treatment of directed trusts, trust decanting, and fiduciary access to digital assets—areas that present new challenges and opportunities for estate planners and litigators alike. References to recent amendments to the Uniform Probate Code (UPC) and the Uniform Trust Code (UTC) ensure that students engage with the most current statutory frameworks.
In addition to revising key cases, notes, and statutory excerpts, the new edition preserves the casebook’s foundational focus on the theory and policy of gratuitous transfers. It remains an accessible yet rigorous resource, suitable for both traditional wills and trusts courses and more practice-oriented instruction. The result is a text that not only teaches the law but invites students to consider the ethical, economic, and social dimensions of succession and fiduciary responsibility.
