Abstract
The symposium had four objectives: (1) to bring together prominent and up-and-coming scholars for the discussion of important issues in wealth transfer law from a comparative and international perspective; (2) to spur leading-edge research on wealth transfer law, looking beyond the borders of any one jurisdiction; (3) to encourage U.S. professors of trusts and estates to incorporate comparative and international perspectives into their scholarship and teaching; and (4) to promote collaborations and exchanges between U.S. and non-U.S. scholars. The ACTEC Foundation has sponsored a series of academic symposia, typically once every two years, on topics within the field of trusts and estates at law schools across the country, including most recently at the University of Michigan (2011), Vanderbilt University (2013), and Boston College (2015). In addition to thanking the ACTEC Foundation for financial support and The University of Iowa College of Law for financial and logistical support, we are very grateful to the Iowa Law Review for helping to organize the symposium and for publishing the papers resulting from it.
