This is a very detailed outline of Trusts & Estates as taught by Professor J. G. Hylton at UVA. The casebook used was Dukenminier, Sitkoff, and Lindgren's Wills, Trusts, and Estates.

The professor taught directly from the casebook and used a very conventional style, so this outline will be highly useful to anyone who uses this book for class.

Topics covered include:

• Probate and Probate Avoidance

• Limits on the Freedom of Disposition

• Intestacy

• Bars to Succession

• Will Formalities

• Revocation of Wills

• Components of Wills

• Will Challenges

• Will Construction

• Will Substitutes

• Trust Formation

• Duties of the Trustee

• Alienation and Modification of Trusts

• Trustee Selection and Replacement

• Charitable Trusts

• Powers of Appointment

• and the Rule Against Perpetuities.

The outline uses common law, the UTC, and a UPC, and makes special notes of places they conflict.
