**More about Trusts and Estates, Third Edition:**

Trusts and Estates, Third Edition offers a unique combination of rigorous doctrinal analysis, learner-centered instruction, and practical skills development while exploring the broader social and political implications of inheritance law. The text introduces students to the foundational principles of wealth transfer, estate planning, and planning for incapacity and death, then examines key inheritance law concepts from both forward-looking perspectives (planning and drafting) and backward-looking perspectives (litigation and dispute resolution).

Distinctive among trusts and estates casebooks, the Third Edition incorporates Indian Trust cases in its discussion of fiduciary duties and places classic undue influence cases, including Moses and Kaufmann, within the broader context of social norms, cultural expectations, and implicit biases. This approach encourages students to consider not only legal doctrine but also the real-world consequences of inheritance decisions and estate planning practices.

The Third Edition continues the book’s commitment to active learning with chapter-opening learning outcomes designed to support ABA requirements and help students focus on essential concepts. It features an expanded glossary, updated and diverse formative assessments with new sample answers and rubrics, highlight boxes emphasizing practice notes, connection notes, and language notes, and end-of-chapter assessments that reinforce connections among topics.

Students engage with a wide range of practical exercises, including role-playing activities, drafting client letters and testamentary documents, writing policy papers, legislation, and judicial opinions, and preparing community and client presentations. Traditional hypotheticals, fact patterns, and discussion questions further develop analytical skills. The edition also includes a comprehensive assessment bank with multiple-choice questions, short essays, longer essays, drafting exercises, and integrated problems designed to help students prepare for the NextGen bar exam.

Rental Terms

Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.

Late Fees: Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
Damage Fees: Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
Return Shipping: Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
30-Day Cancellation: Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
