Doctrine in the Modern Era: How California Courts Applied a Century of Tracing Rules to 21st-Century Assets (2000–2023)

$ 250.00

Established principles do not expire, but they do get stress-tested against unfamiliar terrain. The early 2000s extended tracing methodology into deferred compensation and retirement exhaustion structures that prior courts never examined. The following decade addressed employer stock options, transmutation requirements, and disputed-character loan attribution with a level of precision the original framework could not supply. The present era delivered a Supreme Court reset of joint-title presumptions, refined reimbursement scope, and produced the definitive modern guidance on exhaustion doctrine. Twenty-one decisions, the current operative state of California tracing law.
