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.

Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction.

Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 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 and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. 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. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
