Excerpt from The Law of Wills and the Administration of Estates This volume is a revision and an enlargement of Notes on the Law of Wills and the Administration of the Estates of Deceased Persons published by me seven years ago. That work was the publication in book form of lectures on the sub ject which I had delivered yearly to the senior class of the Kansas City School of Law. It was confined in its citations mainly to the law of Missouri and Kansas. It proved a very useful book both for students and practitioners. The present volume is an enlargement of that work by in cluding all of the leading cases in this country and in Eng land on the subject. It is intended to make this the best one volume work on the subject. It contains a concise statement of all the principles, in language supported by authority. It contains also an exposition of the reason and relative bearing of the rules. In other words, it is designed to be what the lawyer and student need - a text book which places them in possession of the subject, and not a running digest of ill assorted cases. It will be found of especial value to the Western lawyer and student, as it cites every case and discusses every rule em bodied in the common or statute law of the following group of states: Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Ne vada, and California. It cites, also, every case bearing upon the subject decided in the Federal Courts, including the Su preme Court of the United States, the Circuit Courts of Ap peals, the Circuit and District Courts, the territorial courts, and the courts of the District of Columbia.

The third edition of Wills, Probate and Estates has been written to provide trainee solicitors with a clear and thorough understanding of current best practice in the area of wills, trusts, probate and the administration of estates. The manual takes into account recent changes in legislation, particularly the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act, 2009, the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act, 2010 and certain relevant changes to the Capital Acquisitions Tax Consolidation Act, 2003. The book outlines the basic elements of a will, familiarizing trainees with the common law and statutory background enabling them to draft wills and simple trusts in accordance with statute and their clients' informed instructions. The manual goes on to deal with obtaining the necessary grant of representation on the death of a client, either with or without a will, and administering such an estate. Wills, Probate and Estates provides succinct and practical advice, provided by solicitors for solicitors, tackling questions of practice and procedure that are of central importance not only for students on the Professional Practice Course, but also to practitioners who deal with any area of wills, trusts, probate or the administration of estates.
