PROBATE LAW, PRACTICE AND FORMS UspER THE
LAWS OF WASHINGTON land other Western
statesl. By D. L. Alexander and Isaac Joseph.
San Francisco ana Seattle: Bancroft hitney
Company.
This work forms the first attempt to compile
the laws and decisions upon important
branch OF practice. Very material d differences
exist between the conditions in the Eastern and
Western siate', and proof is gwen that the au.
thors thoroughly understand the needs of the
practitioner by their passing remarg in the
preface that in proceeding. in probate what il
done must often be done quickly. The
authors do not pretend to cover every detail
OF law, yet cursory examination shows
only one material omission, and that 10 in a
provision of the state community property law,
passed after the book was in type. No work of
this character will, however, at any time OBJ
waite the necessity OF familiarity with statutes
Substantially, however, the authors have done
lar more than need be expected of them, and
the full text of probate laws IL generally given
together with syllabi OF the latest decisions, 80
that IN the readiest form will be found within a
few pages the material of more shan 200
volumes 90 far as they relate TO the matter in
hand.
