First Assignment Spring 2021

Estates and Trusts

LAW 609 Section 61

John T. Plecnik


Assignment details

Welcome to Estates & Trusts! This course is designed to survey the law relating to the disposition of property upon death through probate and non-probate transfers.

Estates & Trusts is one of the most common practice areas, and many of you will write wills and trusts throughout your career. It is also frequently tested on the Ohio bar exam, so mastering its fundamentals is a necessity for most of us.

Your syllabus for the course is attached, and your first reading is to prepare Assignment 1 for class on Wednesday, January 20th, and Assignments 2 & 3 for Monday, January 25th. We may not complete all three Assignments in the first week, but my goal is to assign the material as far out as we might go, so that you are always prepared.

The required text for the course is Sitkoff & Dukeminier, WILLS, TRUSTS, AND ESTATES (10th ed. 2017).
