The case law update addresses the pertinent judicial developments that took place in Texas regarding the law of intestacy, wills, estate administration, trusts, and other estate planning matters during the Survey period of October 1, 1998 through September 30, 1999.

The statutory update looks at the substantial changes made to the statutes governing probate, wills, guardianships, and trusts by the 1999 Legislature. The section also discusses two bills vetoed by the Governor concerning guardianship and probate.
