The author thoroughly discusses topics such as the capacity to make a will, its form, the interpretation of wills, limitations on the power to dispose of property under a will, the establishment, types, duration, and management of trusts, as well as estate taxes. Additionally, the book explores inheritance issues related to emerging family wealth forms, such as pensions and deferred savings. Numerous photographs and illustrations enhance the book's engaging and readable nature, while clear diagrams help readers understand complex relationships. The questions and difficulties presented at the end of each chapter greatly assist readers in improving their understanding and application of the knowledge. A companion teacher's manual summarizes key teaching points and addresses challenging questions.
