Description

Learning Wills, Trusts, and Estates Chenglin Liu ISBN 9781685615666

Learning Wills, Trusts, and Estates provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to intestacy, will formalities, testamentary capacity and contests, will construction, will substitutes, trust creation, and trust administration. It is well suited for a three-hour wills and trusts course and works effectively for both in-person and online instruction.

Departing from traditional casebook formats, the book emphasizes readability, clarity, rule mastery, and frequent assessment rather than a case-centered approach. Cases are presented in the author’s own words, with essential excerpts from the original opinions included in clearly indented passages. As a result, most cases are concise—typically one to two pages—making them easier for students to read, understand, and retain.

To further support learning, the book makes extensive use of flowcharts, timelines, family trees, and other visual aids that simplify complex concepts. Each chapter concludes with a “Quick Summary” that distills the key rules and ideas and includes sample questions for self-assessment. Together, these features help students absorb, reinforce, and apply the material, making the book more accessible, streamlined, and student-friendly than traditional wills and trusts casebooks.
