This third edition provides a comprehensive review of the law affecting intestate succession, wills, and trusts. This book introduces wills terminology to the lay audience and updates the law of trusts with references to the Uniform Trust Code and the Restatement of Trusts. This book uses problems arising from celebrity peccadilloes and deaths, such as those of Anna Nichole Smith and James Brown, to illustrate legal issues.
