    • Aoki v. Aoki (upholding releases of powers of appointment in the estate plan of the founder of the Benihana restaurant chain)
    • Minnesota Life v. Rings (reconciling simultaneous death statutes with language in a beneficiary designation form)
    • Trust of Shire (construing the trust modification provisions of the UTC)
    • Pikula v. Department of Social Services (upholding a discretionary trust as a supplemental needs trust
  • A completely rewritten—and brief—introduction to the federal estate tax, reflecting the current provisions of the code
