The Will Draftsman's Handbook

This reference offers the professional will draftsman material for preparing a draft for almost any situation. The text is split into narrative, precedent and statutory material sections. This edition includes recent changes in legislation, case law and practice, including: the Family Law Reform Act of 1987; intestacy provision; guardianship of minors; and solicitors' duty of care in will drafting. The precedents section has been expanded to include a will providing a life interest to the surviving spouse, with a power bestowed on the trustees to terminate and redirect to other beneficiaries.
