LAW-315 - Wills and Trusts

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 16

The course in Wills and Trusts covers the basics of redistributing a person’s assets at death. Students will discover the various mechanisms for effectuating pre-and post-mortem transfers of wealth, including wills, trusts, and non-probate transfers. We will explore how California’s law of intestate succession affects those who do not plan for the inevitable. The course will go over selected aspects of the law and discuss how other laws (such as torts, contracts, real property, and community property) can affect inheritance rights. Finally, we will discuss various methods of establishing family rights and protections, both before and after death.
