Synopsis

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, Trusts, and Estates (11th ed. 2022), but may be adapted to any other casebook
• Statutory provisions from the Texas Estates Code, Texas Trust Code, and other relevant statutes, along with excerpts from the Texas Constitution
• Thirty-seven edited Texas cases, selected for their importance in Texas law and pedagogical value
