Included are interesting cases that are not only fun to read, but fun for professors to teach as well. Cases are enhanced and connected to broader legal principles by well-written notes, questions, and problems and cartoons, illustrations, and photographs provide humorous interruptions and visual commentary at appropriate places within the text. New authors James Lindgren and Robert Sitkoff updated the book to reflect legal change while remaining careful to retain the same interesting mix of cases, engaging notes and flexible organization that makes this a highly successful casebook. Additions and improvements to the previous edition include due attention to new developments in law reform by the ALI and NCCUSL such as: Restatement Third, Trusts (2003, Uniform Trust Code (2000) including proposed 2004 amendments, Restatement (Third) of Property: Wills and Other Donative Transfers (2001, 2003)and Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act (2002. Attention is given to ongoing developments in the law such as inheritance rights of posthumously conceived children, standing of donors in suits against the trustees of charitable trusts, the rise of domestic offshore self-settled spendthrift trusts, the erosion of the rule against perpetuities and the rise of the perpetual, generation-skipping trust. There is enhanced coverage of increasingly important topics such as fiduciary administration and trust investment law (including modern portfolio theory, diversification, the principal and income problem, and measuring damages; and inheritance rights of same-sex partners, inheritance rights of children, with comparison to the other common law countries (which are far more generous to children). Also included is a more logical presentation of nonprobate transfers and their role in estate planning, fully updated tax chapter with attention to new developments such as the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Notes, questions, and problems have been revised throughout where appropriate in light of the foregoing and other developments. 147917 29 4 2005 Wills, Trusts, and Estates total:13|5:1|4:4|3:7|1:1| 13 43 19 7 3 0 false false Sat Jan 19 14:36:22 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 15 13:43:07 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 15 13:45:20 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 06 09:10:00 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 20 19:12:05 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Wed Dec 10 15:09:14 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 13:39:44 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 15:09:14 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Mar 02 19:26:06 -0800 2008 Mon Oct 29 11:27:19 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 07 16:41:37 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Fri May 23 11:41:35 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 16 17:06:34 -0700 2007 Fri May 23 11:41:35 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Mon Jul 09 10:57:29 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 09 10:57:29 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sun Feb 03 13:17:09 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 03 13:18:12 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Sep 26 13:27:17 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 13:47:35 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Wed Dec 17 11:32:04 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 11:42:37 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 11:32:04 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Nov 18 21:30:56 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 21:30:56 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 28 23:07:46 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 23:07:53 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Dec 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Aug 30 20:06:04 -0700 2008 Mon Jan 19 18:28:34 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon May 19 13:41:54 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 13:41:54 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Feb 13 15:40:50 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 15:40:54 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 18 15:10:15 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 18 15:10:24 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Tue Oct 23 11:59:14 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 11:59:14 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Tue Dec 25 23:36:21 -0800 2007 Sun Sep 16 07:21:38 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 07:21:46 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Aug 23 18:00:10 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 18:00:10 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Wed Mar 14 14:18:36 -0700 2007 Wed Mar 14 14:18:36 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=153235
