Description

Wills, Estates, and Trusts: Statutes, Cases, and Problems Michael K. Molitor ISBN 9781531026905

Wills, Estates, and Trusts: Statutes, Cases, and Problems offers a comprehensive and integrated treatment of estate planning law, covering all major doctrinal and practical areas essential to modern practice. The text addresses non-probate transfers; intestacy; family protections and the surviving spouse’s elective share; wills (including foundational principles as well as post-execution issues such as after-married spouses, after-born children, will contests, and revocation); trusts; federal gift and estate taxation; and estate planning strategies, including ethical considerations.

Each chapter is carefully structured around detailed learning objectives and includes numerous problem-based exercises designed for in-depth classroom discussion. These problems require students to analyze and apply statutory provisions and case law, reinforcing both doctrinal understanding and practical reasoning skills. A comprehensive teacher’s manual provides detailed explanations for all problems, along with additional instructional resources to support effective course delivery.

The textbook incorporates extensive coverage of the Uniform Probate Code, Uniform Trust Code, and other uniform statutes, while also grounding students in a rich body of judicial decisions. In addition, the online Core Knowledge for Lawyers assessment sets offer multiple-choice and essay questions—each accompanied by thorough explanations—allowing students to evaluate and strengthen their mastery of the material.

Taken together, this textbook equips students with a strong foundation in both the knowledge and analytical skills required of competent estate planning attorneys, making it an ideal resource for classroom instruction and professional preparation.
