Description

Mastering Trusts and Estates 2nd Edition Gail Levin Richmond ISBN 9781531031442

Mastering Trusts and Estates provides a clear and practical guide to the rules governing the transfer of property interests during life and at death. Covering transfers through wills, trusts, intestate succession, outright gifts, survivorship tenancy, and beneficiary designations, the book examines the transferor’s goals, the impact of unforeseen events (such as a beneficiary’s death or disclaimer), and the default rules that apply when plans go awry. It also explains the language and strategies a transferor can use to achieve desired outcomes. Students gain insight into how various transfer methods interrelate, differ, and complement one another, with numerous examples to illustrate key concepts.

In addition, the book introduces fiduciary relationships beyond trustees and personal representatives, including trust directors, UTMA custodians, conservators/guardians, and agents under powers of attorney. While focusing on the Uniform Probate Code and Uniform Trust Code, it also addresses other uniform acts, including the Uniform Parentage Act, Uniform Fiduciary Income and Principal Act, and Uniform Directed Trust Act, along with relevant restatements and state law variations. The final chapter provides an introduction to federal transfer tax provisions, rounding out a comprehensive foundation in trusts and estates law.
