A TEXAS COMPANION FOR THE COURSE IN WILLS, TRUSTS, AND ESTATES introduces Texas-specific law that every student planning to practice law in this state should know. Developed and refined through eleven 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. This edition has been updated to reflect changes made through the 2017 regular session of the Texas legislature, including new provisions relating to durable powers of attorney, class gifts, revocation of certain interests on divorce, and reformation of trusts. In addition, important new cases relating to promissory estoppel, capacity to marry, and the intentional disinheritance of children have been added to stay current with recent developments in the Texas courts.

A TEXAS COMPANION features the following:

• Statutory provisions from the Texas Estates Code, Texas Trust Code, and other relevant statutes, along with excerpts from the Texas Constitution
• Thirty-six edited Texas cases, selected for their importance in Texas law and pedagogical value
• Citations and cross-references noting recent legislative changes
• Logical sequencing that tracks the chapter order in Sitkoff and Dukeminier, Wills, Trusts, and Estates (10th ed. 2017), but may be adapted to any other casebook
