A Texas Companion for the Course in Wills, Trusts, and Estates: Case and Statutory Supplement, 2023-2024

A Texas Companion for the Course in Wills, Trusts, and Estates introduces Texas-specific law that every student planning to practice law in the state should know. Developed and refined through seventeen years of classroom use, these materials provide a solid grounding not only for the Texas Bar Examination, but also for estate planning practice in Texas. The materials in this edition have been updated to reflect changes made through the 2023 regular session of the Texas legislature, including revisions relating to adoptive parents, executor appointments, noncharitable trusts without an ascertainable beneficiary, and the Rule Against Perpetuities. Two new cases have also been added: Jones v. Jones on the signature requirement for wills and Odom v. Coleman on reformation of  scrivener’s errors.A TEXAS COMPANION features the following: Citations and cross-references noting recent legislative changes Logical sequencing that tracks the Chapter order in Sitkoff and Dukeminier, Wills, Tru
