Details

Written in a straightforward, modern style and providing a comprehensive set of trust precedents this book is a value-adding reference work on key areas of trust law for private client practitioners.

Containing a detailed discussion of administrative provisions, some of which are not generally dealt with in conventional textbooks on English trust law, it provides answers (with appropriate reasons and authority, where available) to a number of important questions for practitioners, such as: Are forfeiture clauses valid, and do automatic flee clauses work? How should a drafter provide for the trust's proper purpose, and would STAR trusts be recognised in other jurisdictions? How can one validly restrict a beneficiary's right to information and trust documents, and what indemnities should retiring trustees request from their successors?

The Second Edition reflects important new case law (in the Cayman Islands, England and other leading trust jurisdictions), legislative changes, changes to drafting practice and includes fully updated precedents which are also supplied as an accompanying electronic download. The meaning and, where relevant, the source of each provision used in the precedents is explained in the book, with suggested wording for common alternative options, as well as discussions of some common drafting mistakes and traps to avoid.
