Summary:
"As Margaret Rintoul states in the Preface to this updated volume, 'While estates practice is often considered to be dull and quiet with continued reliance on centuries old principles, in fact it is a developing and highly important area of the law.' This statement aptly describes why The Practitioner?s Guide to Estate Practice is such a valuable resource. Now in its Seventh Edition, Rintoul?s text provides practical, comprehensive and expert guidance on the day-to-day administration of estates and is the ideal reference manual for both experienced practitioners and lawyers who are new to the practice area." --publisher's description.
