Description

Trusts and Estates 2nd Edition Jeffrey Evans Stake ISBN 9781636599335

Stake’s Trusts and Estates casebook is designed as a practical teaching tool for an introductory course in trusts and estates. Unlike some texts that assume the decedent’s intent always takes precedence, this casebook balances individual intent with broader societal considerations. It emphasizes key cases and Uniform Probate Code (UPC) provisions, with far fewer note cases than typical casebooks, avoiding an exhaustive, hornbook-style approach. This focused treatment makes it easier for students to identify what to study and improves readability.

The casebook can be fully covered in a three-hour course or expanded with local law for a four-hour course. It also includes thought-provoking policy questions for class discussion, ranging from the justice and efficiency of specific UPC provisions to the roles of courts and legislatures in shaping policy decisions.
