Summary:
"Questions & Answers: Wills, Trusts and Estates is a study guide designed to provide students with a fuller understanding of this nuanced and complex area of the law. Passively engaging with rules does not advance the forward edge of a student's comprehension. Reviewing practice questions is a proven way to improve performance on exams. This study guide includes multiple-choice and short-answer questions arranged topically for ease of use during the semester, plus an additional set of questions comprising a comprehensive "practice exam." For each multiple-choice question, the authors provide a detailed answer that indicates which of four options is the best answer and explains thoroughly why that option is better than the other three options. Each short-answer question is designed to be answered in fifteen minutes or less. A thoughtful, comprehensive, brief model answer is provided. This edition of the book builds on the foundation established in the first three editions, by revising and updating the topics covered to include new developments in law. Questions have been updated to use more inclusive language"-- Provided by publisher.
