Law 668:  Decedents' Estates and Trusts

This course addresses transfers of money and property at death. Topics addressed include intestate succession; execution, revocation, and construction of wills; and non-probate means of transfer including inter vivos trusts, life insurance policies, and retirement plans. Because the law of succession varies by state, the course’s primary focus will be on model code and restatement rules.

Sequence and Prerequisites: None.

Evaluation: Administered final examination, plus online discussion participation and one or two homework assignments
