Assignment details
Welcome to Estates & Trusts!
This course is designed to survey the law relating to the disposition of property upon death through probate, non-probate, and intestate transfers.
Estates & Trusts is one of the most common practice areas, and many of you will write wills and trusts throughout your career. The subject is also frequently tested on the bar exam, so mastering its fundamentals is a necessity for most of us.
Your syllabus and all assignments are housed in the Blackboard course. Please prepare Modules 00 and 01 for the first week of class.
As part of Module 01, we have our first mandatory synchronous session via Zoom on Tuesday, August 26th, from 7:30-8:45 p.m. See you then!
