Review of Raymond C. O'Brien & Michael T. Flannery, Decedents' Estates: Cases and Materials (2006)

Abstract:     
The wills, trusts, and estates casebook market has long been dominated by excellent, time-tested works, I several of which are in seventh editions. It took considerable gumption for Professors Raymond C. O'Brien and Michael T. Flannery to enter into this mature marketS with the 2006 publication by Carolina Academic Press of their law school course book entitled Decedents' Estates: Cases and Materials (hereinafter the Casebook). Unexpectedly, the Casebook provides a viable option to these well-established works by providing a fresh approach while maintaining the necessary coverage of traditional topics.
