Cases and Materials on Gratuitous Transfers, Wills, Intestate Succession, Trusts, Gifts, Future Interests, and Estate and Gift Taxation

The new edition of Gratuitous Transfers incorporates developments in the law of wills, trusts and estates since 2007, including new principal cases involving insane delusions, formalities of will execution, charitable restrictions and trust modification. The text also includes references to caselaw and literature relating to same-sex marriage, posthumously-conceived children, transfer-on-death deeds, asset protection and perpetual trusts, as well as statutory references to amended Uniform Probate Code provisions concerning parent-child status, spousal elective share and notarized wills. The coverage has been thoroughly updated while maintaining continuity of organization and general approach with previous editions.
