Future Interests

The law of estates and future interests is complex but fascinating. Most lawyers learn the basics in first-year property and forget them after the bar exam. Yet for trusts and estates practice, this knowledge is crucial. This upper-level class suits those pursuing trusts & estates or real estate practice. Students learn to draft future interests clearly and correctly to avoid litigation and protect clients’ heirs from unnecessary burdens. Students will also learn to spot and litigate poorly drafted trusts for clients.
