Editorial Reviews: Product Description Authoritative coverage provides detailed explanation of the provisions, definitions, and concepts of the Uniform Probate Code. Topics covered include probate jurisdiction of the courts, intestate succession involving wills and donative transfers, and probate of wills and administration. Addresses foreign personal representative and ancillary administration, protection of persons under disability and their property, and trust administration.

Customer Reviews: A decent guide to the UPC, be careful with it though September 18, 2000 8 out of 8 found this review helpful While this book is a little pricey, it is usefull to a degree. Unfortunately, the authors neglected to state in the title which UPC this book deals with, i.e. UPC (1969) or UPC (1990); the reader has to really dig for that information in the "history" section laid out in the introduction. Nor does this book do a particularly good job contrasting the differences between the 1969 version, which has been adopted by roughly 1/3 of the states, and the 1990 version which has been adopted in Colorado. In the malpractice minefield that surrounds this area of the law, this oversight seems rather remarkable. I was also somewhat disapointed to discover that this book DOES NOT reprint the UPC or the official commentary to the code. Nor does this book contain even a dated table of which U.S. states have adopted the code (that would have been really nice - especialy for practicing attorneys). Instead, this little pocket edition gives you unofficial commentary about each chapter, section and article. A word of warning to students and practitioners: don't use a highlighter to mark in this book, it will bleed right through the paper. Colored pencils will have to suffice. That having been said, I don't mean to discourage anyone from buying this book. It is a handy reference that sheds light on some of the more text-heavy portions of the code. It has an excellent table guiding the reader to the various sections. And it is generally helpful as a secondary text. Would I buy it again? Probably. Would I use it with caution? Absolutely. Do I think it was way over priced? Definitely. In my case, this book was a few dollars cheaper through Amazon, even with shipping and handling, than it was in my law school bookstore. My reccomendation: don't buy this book sight unseen. If you are thinking about purchasing this book, go to your local law school, hit the bookstore and look it over.
