Wills and Trusts in a Nutshell

Have you ever wondered what happened to the estates of Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Prince, and the mother/daughter team of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher? This accessible book uses the estates of these individuals and more to supplement a traditional wills and trusts class or provide the sole text for a seminar. The book is also accessible to the general public interested in learning more about this complex topic. The sixth edition of this book updates laws affecting intestate succession, wills, guardianships, and trusts. It introduces wills and trust terminology to summarize the law included in the Uniform Probate Code, Uniform Trust Code, Uniform Principal and Income Act, Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act, Uniform Prudent Investor Act, and the Restatement of Trusts. The book is simultaneously interesting and informative.
