- The ALI has already completed three Concise Restatements. A Concise Restatement of Torts is in its third edition; originally compiled in 2000 by Professor Kenneth S. Abraham of the University of Virginia School of Law, it was revised and updated in 2010 and again in 2013 by Professor Ellen M. Bublick of the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law. The second, A Concise Restatement of Property, was compiled in 2001 by Professor Lance Liebman of Columbia Law School, then the ALI Director. And the third, A Concise Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers, was compiled in 2007 by Professor Vincent R. Johnson of St. Mary’s University School of Law and Professor Susan Saab Fortney of Texas Tech University School of Law.
- The American Law Institute’s Concise Restatements provide a useful service to the profession. They condense multi-volume texts spanning thousands of pages into a single volume in a compact, convenient, and readily accessible format that is designed specifically for law students as an adjunct to their casebook and for others seeking an authoritative overview of a field. Concise Restatements are a wonderful way to introduce law students to the ALI’s work and to have them focus on the role the Restatements of the Law play in our legal system. Our hope is that they will then be more sophisticated users of our work throughout their career.
- We are now launching the fourth project in this series: A Concise Restatement of Donative Transfers and Trusts, which combines portions of the Restatement Third of Property (Wills and Other Donative Transfers), completed in 2011, and the Restatement Third of Trusts, completed in 2012. For this undertaking, the ALI is very thankful to its Editor, Professor Thomas P. Gallanis of the University of Iowa College of Law, who served as an Associate Reporter on the latter project.

- Together, the Restatement Third of Property (Wills and Other Donative Transfers) and the Restatement Third of Trusts consist of seven volumes and more than 3,500 pages. This one-volume compilation contains the most important parts of these Restatements, but some editing choices had to be made. This book follows the editing conventions of A Concise Restatement of Torts, Third Edition (Bublick ed. 2013): deletions are noted by ellipses (three dots for deletions internal to a sentence and four dots for others); however, the deletion of an entire lettered Comment or an entire Illustration is not noted, because the Comment lettering and Illustration numbering are sufficient to alert readers to these deletions. Cross-references to now-superseded Restatement sections have been updated, where possible, by including the corresponding current Restatement reference in brackets.

- Description: Professor Thomas P. Gallanis of the University of Iowa, who served as an Associate Reporter for the Restatement Third of Trusts, compiled and edited this Concise Restatement. Condensing the seven volumes of the Restatement Third of Trusts and the Restatement Third of Property (Wills and Other Donative Transfers) into a single user-friendly volume, the Concise Restatement sets forth the black-letter principles of the law of trusts and estates, including relevant explanatory commentary and helpful illustrations that illuminate the law and the policies underlying it. This handy one-volume Concise Restatement is ideal for practitioner reference or for use as a supplement in law-school courses in trusts and estates.
