Which is the correct short form for the estate caption as shown by 'Estate of Sanders'?

In Bluebook practice, the short form for an estate caption uses the phrase Estate of followed only by the decedent’s surname. Since the estate is Sanders, the proper caption is Estate of Sanders. This format keeps the caption concise and unambiguous and aligns with how courts refer to estates in pleadings and citations. The other forms add the given name, include The, or reverse the order, which are not the accepted short forms for estate captions.
